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
This study focuses on the roles of after-sales services in the automaker innovation process and on the importance of specific structures creation to facilitate their knowledge integration in the innovation process. The analysis of an inter-organizational strategic community (SC) for new products and services development provides the creation and continuous success mechanisms and dynamics. Data were collected through interviews with the managers and the founders and a questionnaire dedicated to the members of the SC. The findings show that the most important mechanisms and dynamisms are IT-based communication, the strategic leadership of the founders, the use of a reward system as incentive to knowledge creation and sharing, and the indirect ties of the SC with other after-sales services firms. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
