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.

Conference Paper Description
Stigma generally means contrary sentiments that individuals have about specific conditions or qualities that someone may have. In contrast, discrimination conveys the meaning of treating someone or a particular group in the public arena less decently than others. This study aims to determine the level of stigma and discrimination of the public towards COVID-19 patients and suspects. An online questionnaire with 11 items in the demographic section and 11 items was designed to evaluate the level of both stigma and discrimination. The study involved 404 respondents of Malaysian Citizens who are from different states and demographic backgrounds by using the Google Form platform. The amount of survey calculated based on Krejcie and Morgan Table, N=32 000 000, S=384. This study involved 404 respondents. All variables were measured through scales previously used by other researchers. SPSSS ver. 23 software was used in the analysis, and the results of the SPSS indicated that most Malaysian citizens do have a stigma towards the COVID-19 patients and suspects rather than discriminate against them (M=2.07).
