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
This report written for the German consumer association vzbv (Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband) analyzes the relationship between data protection law and competition law for fostering synergies and mitigating conflicts between both legal regimes, especially with regard to the huge economic power of the large tech firms. Based upon an economic market failure framework that focusses on the problems of the simultaneous existence of competition problems and information and behavioral problems of consumers, it emphasizes the need for analyzing the intertwinement of competition policy and data protection (or privacy) law due to a number of interaction effects.In the policy part of this interdisciplinary report (coauthored by an economist and a lawyer), the "Digital Markets Act" (DMA) proposal of the EU Commission is critically as-sessed not only from a competition but also from a data protection and consumer protection perspective. It makes several partly fair-reaching proposals for strengthening also data protection and consumer protection vis-a-vis the gatekeepers. In the last part also the broader interplay between competition law, data protection law, and consumer law is analyzed, with a particular emphasis on the need for a more integrative and collaborative policy approach.
