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
Program directors are tasked with selecting whom they think will be the best fit for residency and the next leaders of the field. While numerical metrics have played a vital role in this process, recent changes to student evaluation are reducing the availability of these metrics. This poses unique challenges for both applicants and program directors. Here we discuss how this will likely shift the focus on other parts of the application and the consequences (good and bad) of doing so.
