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
In recent years, the huge growth in the number and variety of blockchains has prompted researchers to investigate the cross-blockchain scenario. In this setting, multiple blockchains coexist, and wallets can exchange data and money from one blockchain to another. The effective and efficient management of a cross-blockchain ecosystem is an open problem. This paper aims to address it by exploiting the potential of Social Network Analysis. This general objective is declined into a set of activities. First, a social network-based model is proposed to represent such a scenario. Then, a multi-dimensional and multi-view framework is presented, which uses such a model to handle a cross-blockchain scenario. Such a framework allows all the results found in the past research on Social Network Analysis to be applied to the cross-blockchain ecosystem. Afterwards, this framework is used to extract insights and knowledge patterns concerning the behavior of several categories of wallets in a cross-blockchain scenario. To verify the goodness of the proposed framework, it is applied on a real dataset derived from Multichain, in order to identify various user categories and their “modus operandi”. Finally, a new centrality measure is proposed, which identifies the most significant wallets in the ecosytem. This measure considers several viewpoints, each of which addresses a specific aspect that may make a wallet more or less central in the cross-blockchain scenario.
