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
This paper examines online users' perceived susceptibility to phishing attacks. We posit that an individual's phishing susceptibility may be shaped by recent phishing encounters and, more importantly, that the effect of new experience on susceptibility will be heterogeneous among users. To facilitate our investigation, we focus on both the process and outcome of phishing detection. Survey data from college students confirms that one's susceptibility is affected by detection process difficulty and detection outcome failures in the recent phishing encounter. Results also reveal the importance of personal attributes, such as past success in phishing detection and phishing desensitization, in regulating the effects of a recent phishing encounter. Finally, results show the relationship between detection process difficulty and outcome failures, in addition to confirming antecedents to the two detection components. Our research generates new knowledge that contributes to the phishing literature and it also sheds new insights that inform practitioners, although the use of college students limits the generalizability of the current findings.
