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
The special issue of Transactions on Asian Language Information Processing (TALIP) discusses six research papers on Indian language Information Retrieval (IR). The first article, 'The FIRE 2008 Evaluation Exercise' by Prasenjit Majumder and co-workers, provides the motivation and background for the FIRE initiative. It describes how the FIRE 2008 test collection was constructed, and summarizes the approaches adopted by various participants. The authors also discuss the limitations of the datasets, and outline the tasks planned for the next iteration of FIRE. Leveling and Jones in their article,'Sub-word Indexing and Blind Relevance Feedback for English, Bengali, Hindi, and Marathi IR,' try a corpus-based stemming approach based on morpheme induction, as well as sub-word indexing units. The final article, An Information Extraction System for Urdu - A Resource Poor Language' by Smruthi, addresses Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks for Urdu, a language that is not addressed by any of the other articles.
