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
Family physicians have developed a holistic approach to patients’ care which can facilitate a mutual understanding of different Traditional and Complementary Medicine (T&CM) practices. This analytical paper considers three intertwined issues: (1) Ian McWhinney’s critique of biomedical abstractions (i.e., disease categories); (2) The similarity between the cosmology of family medicine’s organismic thinking and homeopathy’s vitalism as an example of T&CM; and (3) The gradient of explanatory models (EMs) to delineate the space within which T&CM can be applied to patients’ care. In primary health care predominates a blend of physiopathological and semiological EMs comprised of low to moderate risk patients. In this scenario, the introduction of T&CM practices can enhance family physicians’ therapeutic scope. Thus, the combination of gradient of EMs, primary health care attributes, and family physicians’ professionalism can provide the required safe environment for implementing T&CM services.
