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
We report on a diverse fauna from the Busidima–Telalak region of the Afar in Ethiopia. The fossiliferous sediments are characterized by riverbank deposits. During our first field season thirty-one mammalian species were encountered. Fossils are nicely preserved and abundant. Bovids, carnivores, monkeys, and large rodents are the most common taxa. The fauna points to a Middle Pleistocene age (0.2 to 0.8 Ma). Our preliminary palaeoenvironmental reconstruction indicates that our fossil assemblage is derived from a rather wet and closed environment. This condition is unique as sites of this time period were reported to be more open and dry.
