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
Little attention has been paid to the psychological status of infertile men from developing countries who have been traditionally stigmatized as feeble and ineffective. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of depression and its socio‐demographic correlates in a sample of Iranian infertile men. One hundred and fourteen infertile men filled out the 21‐item Beck Depression Inventory. Men who scored ≥17 were considered depressed and those with the score ≤16 were assumed to be nondepressed. (i) Comparison between depressed and non‐depressed men regarding age, education level, economic status, ethnicity, age at time of marriage, duration, and type of infertility and regular cigarette smoking. (ii) Independent risk factors for depression. The mean age of participants was 34.1 ± 7.1 years. The diagnosis of depression was made in 42.9% of infertile men. Current age, age at marriage, economic status, and type of infertility were not statistically different between two groups ( P > 0.05). Statistically significant association was detected between depression symptoms and education ( P < 0.001), cigarette smoking ( P < 0.008), and duration of infertility ( P < 0.03). In an adjusted multiple regression model, education (odds ratio [OR] 0.2; confidence interval [CI] 0.06–0.5, P < 0.003), ethnicity (OR 4.5; CI 1.5–13.3, P < 0.006), and cigarette smoking (OR 5.1; CI 1.4–18.5, P < 0.01) retained their significance, while duration of infertility lost its power. Depression among Iranian infertile men is remarkably higher in comparison with Western countries. Azaris, cigarette smokers, and individuals with low educational level are at higher risk of developing depression among infertile men.
