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
Plasma concentrations of progesterone (males and females), 17α-hydroxyprogesterone (males and females), oestradiol (females) and testosterone (males) were measured in Fiordland Crested Penguins at different stages from courtship to late in the incubation period. Plasma levels of oestradiol and testosterone were high during courtship, had declined to low levels by the time eggs were laid, and remained low in incubating birds. Progesterone was also highest during courtship in both males and females, but remained at relatively high levels following egg laying and during incubation. However, males returning from foraging towards the end of the incubation period had significantly elevated testosterone levels and lowered progesterone levels. Plasma levels of 17α-hydroxyprogesterone remained constant in both sexes through all stages of the breeding cycle examined here.
