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.

Article Description
Decomposition analysis has become a popular tool to study CO 2 emissions and, in this study, we developed a combined decomposition approach to emissions analysis by integrating the logarithmic mean Divisia index and production-theoretical decomposition analysis. Based on this novel approach, we investigated the driving factors of CO 2 emissions in China over the latest Five-Year Plan period (2011–2015) and analyzed the inequality characteristics of such emissions. The results showed that 1) the peak value of CO 2 emissions in China declined over the period; 2) the overall inequality presented a decreasing trend, whereas intragroup inequality presented a slightly increasing trend over the period; and 3) generally, the potential energy intensity effect contributed to the decrease in CO 2 emissions in developed provinces, whereas the potential carbon factor effect accounted for the decrease in CO 2 emissions in less-developed provinces. Based on our empirical results, we recommend that policy-makers consider several factors when implementing CO 2 policies.
