Metric Options: CountsSelecting 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.

Review Description
Marine heatwaves are increasing in intensity and frequency, causing worldwide coral bleaching, reductions in coral cover, and shifts in species composition. Recent studies have found, however, that inshore turbid reefs are more resistant to heat stress than offshore clear-water reefs. Inshore turbid reefs, therefore, may play a critical role as climate-change refuges for contemporary coral reefs subjected to marine heatwaves. This perspective explores the importance of inshore reefs in the past, present, and future. Paleo records show that inshore reefs were also crucial as refuges during historically warm periods. Yet, contemporary inshore reefs are especially vulnerable to pollution and land-use-change runoff, which were absent in paleo times. Therefore, inshore reefs need strategic management and protection to maintain their role as climate-change refugia as the oceans continue to warm.
