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.

Article Description
It is common for writers who venture into Native American topics, such as mythology, to be regarded as anthropologists. However, this approach may also be translated into literary artifices that manipulate the ethnographic data. This paper ponders the project of compilation and rewriting of myths carried out by Manuel Mejia Vallejo (1923-1998) in Los abuelos de cara blanca (1991). The analysis focuses on an Embera myth, the story of Je, the snake, included in the novel, to conclude that, more than a 'natural' exercise of anthropological mimesis, what is being witnessed is a commitment to ethnofiction.
