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
Pied flycatchers were tested twice at sunset under a clear sky, a clear sky with moon, and under artificial overcast conditions. The mean spring direction was W-NW, with a higher westward bias than in previous tests performed in complete darkness. The activity of single tests was high but their directionality was low, with an inverse correlation between activity and directionality. Under clear skies (with or without moon) the distribution of birds performing a test for the first or second time was not different, with high consistency of individual birds, while in overcast conditions second tests shifted southwards, seemingly a phototactic reaction. Under clear skies (with and without moon), in the second test individual vector lengths increased and there was no correlation between individual activity and vector value, indicating an improvement of the perform ance; in contrast, in second overcast tests vectors tended to decrease and the negative correlation activity/vector was significant. So, although the mean direction was not different from the clear sky, the individual performance was worse in overcast conditions, probably due to a decrease in motivation to migrate during prolonged overcast conditions. © 1997 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
