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.

Research from Ritsumeikan University Provides New Data on Social Science (Surveillance and Medicalization of Atypical Motor Development)
2024 DEC 02 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Health & Medicine Daily -- A new study on social science is now
Article Description
This article theoretically and practically navigates the controversy of whether delayed motor development should be identified through large-scale screening and addressed through the healthcare system with a diagnosis of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) or Dyspraxia. It critically evaluates the surveillance of atypical motor development, using perspectives of the panoptic and synoptic models, evidence-based practice, and considerations of social justice. Moreover, it assesses the extent, consequences, and legitimacy of medicalization, weighing both the benefits and drawbacks. The resulting conclusion on the issues of surveillance and medicalization remains nuanced, dependent on various factors. Through its exploration of surveillance and medicalization, the article highlights the advantages of dismantling and analyzing specific components within these concepts, rather than resorting to oversimplification. This nuanced approach fosters an understanding of surveillance and medicalization that is more comprehensive, encouraging a discourse on the intricate issues of atypical motor development that is both better balanced and informed.
