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.

Navigating the Future: Essential Skills for Digital Transformation Success
In an era where digital transformation is not just an option but a necessity for career advancement and business success, understanding the blend of skills
Article Description
In today's increasingly digitalized work environments, the need for digital skills is on the rise. Surprisingly, current frameworks of digital skills fail to specifically address the identification and measurement of digital skills in the workplace. The objective of this research is thus to develop a framework and a validated scale for digital skills at work. To do so, we employ a multi-step process that includes a thorough literature review, cognitive interviews with five experts, two pilot surveys (respectively n = 22 and n = 106), and a full validation survey ( n = 923) among professionals. The findings consist of a comprehensive framework and a validated scale for digital skills at work. The framework entails 8 dimensions: Technology use, Cybersecurity, Content management, Communication and collaboration, Critical inquiry, Responsibility, Well-being, and Identity and development. The final scale consists of 52 items. This work enables to better understand individuals' skillsets and organizational requirements in terms of digital skills for the future of work. Both practical and research implications are discussed.
