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
Prolonged waits reduce tourist satisfaction and have become a major factor in the theme park experience. How to improve tourist satisfaction is one of the main challenges for theme parks, and the key is to develop an appropriate queue management strategy. We develop a theme park queueing model considering the Fast Pass system, derive the optimal pricing strategy under profit maximization, and analyze the Shanghai Disney theme park as an example. The contribution of this paper is to establish a mathematical model of the queuing of theme parks with heterogeneous tourists and incorporate tourist satisfaction into the objective function. The results show that the equilibrium result of the Fast Pass system under profit maximization can optimize both tourist satisfaction (travel utility) and theme park profit, which is more acceptable to theme park operators.
