Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We have studied the aftershock sequence following the major earthquakes of 7 June 1982 that occurred in the Ometepec, Guerrero in southern Mexico, a region of high seismic potential. Earthquakes in this region frequently occur in pairs (called earthquake doublets in seismology). Earthquake doublet appearance in other regions has been related to the presence of large isolated asperities, that is, zones of high stress concentration on the fault plane. In the present paper, we propose a new relationship between Ometepec, Guerrero doublet generation and local geological features. The spatial distribution of the aftershocks suggests the presence of a Cocos subducting plate disruption at the Ometepec, Guerrero area which may be causally related to the doublet genesis.
