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.

Conference Paper Description
Every year, in Europe alone, hundreds of workers die by falling from high height. This number could be greatly reduced by means of better training and quick detection of individuals with issues toward work at height. Workers proving to be less suited for the job can be subject to more intensive training or recruited for different positions. Unfortunately, the early detection of workers unsuited for working at height involves specialized personnel and expensive equipment to recreate a stressful environment. In this paper we propose a methodology to predict fear of heights by means of a virtual reality environment. We demonstrate that a 3D virtual environment is feasible for the prediction and give guidelines about meaningful physiological parameters useful for detection.
