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
There are many collaborative studies where the reported within-study uncertainty estimates are unreliable but can be considered as lower bounds to the true uncertainties. This work is motivated by such examples; it provides a method to determine the common mean of heterogeneous observations with unknown variances which however allow for the given lower bounds. In this situation, the classical maximum likelihood estimator and the restricted maximum likelihood estimator are derived. These procedures lead to the choice of the random effects model where the unknown heterogeneity variance can depend on the individual study. The Bayes procedures against the noninformative prior restricted on the appropriate parametric subset are recommended for practical use.
