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
With the knowledge explosion currently occurring in veterinary medicine, it is difficult to impart to our learners all the actions that can be done, let alone teach them how to determine what should be done. Ethics curricula can provide an essential part of this answer but leave it incomplete. This can result in the disengagement of veterinary learners from the situational understanding that leads to the most appropriate actions. Phronesis is a practical understanding with sound judgment and ethical orientation. It has recently become a talking point in medicine as a framework of support for health professionals that brings together the goals of ethical care with clinical judgment. We can work to incorporate it more effectively into our curricula by evaluating how phronesis is already used in veterinary medicine. This will give learners the opportunity to practice phronetic judgment and support practical wisdom in clinical settings.
