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
Mining's developmental ethos is criticised and praised in equal measure. The presence of precious mineral deposits has been associated with widespread poverty and underdevelopment, at least at the macro level of analyses. This study, through the Asutifi North District case study sought to undertake a micro level analysis of the nexus between mining and the sustainable development of the mine-take communities. Using questionnaire, focus group discussion, stakeholder validation workshop and analysis of satellite imagery the study finds, particularly in relation to social development that mining has made significant contributions to the development of the mine-take communities in the Ahafo area. The study, however, concludes that issues such as the one-off payment of compensation to people who lose their lands, use of mineral royalties, and the amount of money going to the NADeF require some review in tandem with global market trends and local development aspirations.
