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.

Review Description
The essay analyses the discursive construction of the legal fight against new terrorism in Italian trials. My hypotheses is that the judicial discourse is a complex mechanism, used to legitimize contemporary fears about terrorism, starting from the theoretical assumption that the juridical canon, or rather, speech is a sort of linguistic central bank, which enables the circulation of other discourses such as the political and media one. My analysis focuses on the judicial case study of Mohamed Daki, the Twin Towers' twentieth man, as well as a central figure in Italian trials against Ansar al-Islãm group. I show how that judicial inquiry has contributed to the development of a crucial juridical device in fighting international terrorism in Italy, partly thanks to the massive media coverage. Then, I describe the struggle which has taken place between the magistrates themselves to affirm the sovereignty of low as authorized word over the global enemy, the fanatical Islamists. I conclude with brief arguments about merging judiciary discourse on terrorism.
