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
Women are increasingly assuming crucial roles in agrifood systems, shifting from agriculture to off-farm activities. However, assessing whether this structural transformation is occurring equally for men and women is challenging due to the scarcity of sex-disaggregated data on agrifood systems and in the off-farm sector globally. The paper aims to bridge this gap by compiling a comprehensive dataset covering 182 countries and analysing gender patterns of employment in agrifood systems from 2000 to 2021. The study finds that agrifood systems is a critical source of livelihood for about 735 million men and 455 million women globally, and as economies grow, both men and women move out of self-employment in agriculture towards wage employment in the off-farm sector, but this trend is not equal for men and women.
