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
The Somatic Symptom Scale-8 (SSS-8) is one of the most common and psycho-metrically sound instruments for self-reporting somatization and eight specific somatic symptoms [7]. Objective. This study was aimed to adapt and examine the factor structure of the Russian SSS-8. Methods. A total sample of 167 care home residents completed the Russian version of the SSS-8 and questionnaire covering socio-demographic information. Results. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses showed that the adapted scale demonstrated a single-factor structure evaluating the somatization total score via medically unexplained symptoms (stomach or bowel problems; back pain; pain in arms, legs, or joints; headaches; chest pain or shortness of breath; dizziness; feeling tired or having low energy; trouble sleeping). The Cronbach’s α coefficient for the SSS-8 total score was 0,76, indicating the good internal consistency. Conclusions. The Russian version of the SSS-8 is a reliable and valid measure assessing somatic symptoms in care home residents.
