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.

Article Description
Many football players contribute to aggregate results throughout a football club's history. However, no scientific research has pinpointed the most technically efficient players in a football club's history considering their position on the field. The aim of this paper is to propose an output-oriented nonincreasing returns to scale super-efficiency data envelopment analysis (DEA) model in order to measure football players' performance. The model is applied empirically to Real Madrid's best players (white legends) from the signing of Luis Molowny to Raúl González's departure. Results are also calculated and compared with the standard DEA in order to form the most efficient and super-efficient historical squad of Real Madrid footballers. © 2014 International Federation of Operational Research Societies Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford OX4 2DQ, UK and 350 Main St, Malden, MA02148, USA.
