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
Previous studies suggest a significant correlation between risk perception and acceptance of nuclear power, but opinions of people with different perceived radiological risk seemed not captured. A national online survey was conducted to learn about the correlation between young Chinese people's beliefs about radiation and their opinions about nuclear power. Correlation between the proximity to a nuclear facility and beliefs about radiation is found. Gender and occupation are not revealed as statistically influential. In addition, the analyses suggest that respondents' perceptions of radiological risk are significantly associated with perception of and support for nuclear power. Even though most respondents supported inland nuclear power plants, fear of radiation is likely to result in a more serious NIMBY syndrome. Most respondents overstated the effect of low-dose radiation, worried about a negative impact of radioactive materials released from a nuclear power plant, and wanted to know more about radiation protection and emergency procedures. It implies that many nuclear issues were driven by fear of radiation, and perception of radiological risk appears a critical factor to mitigate worries and implement radiation protection and emergency procedures.
