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
Hydrogen receives revived attention as part of climate change and energy transition strategies. In Germany, hydrogen has become a central component of the climate policy. The government published a national hydrogen strategy in 2020. The aim of this paper is to understand how interactions between the policy mix and actor strategies influence the development of hydrogen pathways in Germany. The research builds on the concepts of transition pathways and policy mixes. Methodologically, the paper combines policy mapping with an analysis of stakeholder interviews. The analysis shows a relatively coherent, consistent and credible policy mix, but slow progress ‘on the ground’. This can be explained with various uncertainties, including disagreements between actors about desirable pathways, which led some to adopt a ‘wait and see’ strategy. The study contributes to the literature on the politics of transition pathways by proposing a framework for analysing the interplay between policy mix and actor strategies.
