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.

Book Chapter Description
In classification problems, lack of knowledge of the prior distribution may make the application of Bayes' rule inadequate. Uniform or arbitrary priors may often provide classification answers that, even in simple examples, may end up contradicting our common sense about the problem. Entropic priors, determined via the application of the maximum entropy principle, seem to provide a much better answer and can be easily derived and applied to classification tasks when no more than the likelihood functions are available. In this paper we present an example in which the use of the entropic priors is compared to the results of the application of Dempster-Shafer theory. © 2011 The authors and IOS Press.
