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
Macedonia is a multiethnic developing country with a new democratic political system in transition from a former communist country. The country gained independence as former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in 1991. Recent health reforms have privatized pediatric primary care and introduced family doctors alongside primary care pediatricians. Increasing privatization of hospitals have left the state-run hospitals short of pediatric specialists and subspecialists as doctors moved to private hospitals for better salaries and working conditions. There is little coordinated action between the Ministry of Health, health insurance fund, and Macedonian pediatricians to overcome the problems that now exist within the pediatric/child health system because of these recent reforms, which were politically driven without consultation with the Macedonian Pediatric Association. These recent decisions will have an adverse effect on the quality of care for children and families, which will likely continue for another 5-10 years.
