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
Dynamic time warping estimates the alignment between two sequences and is designed to handle a variable amount of time warping. In many contexts, it performs poorly when confronted with two sequences of different scale, in which the average slope of the true alignment path in the pairwise cost matrix deviates significantly from one. This paper investigates ways to improve the robustness of DTW to such global time warping conditions, using an audio–audio alignment task as a motivating scenario of interest. We modify a dataset commonly used for studying audio–audio synchronization in order to construct a benchmark in which the global time warping conditions are carefully controlled, and we evaluate the effectiveness of several strategies designed to handle global time warping. Among the strategies tested, there is a clear winner: performing sequence length normalization via downsampling before invoking DTW. This method achieves the best alignment accuracy across a wide range of global time warping conditions, and it maintains or reduces the runtime compared to standard usages of DTW. We present experiments and analyses to demonstrate its effectiveness in both controlled and realistic scenarios.
