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
Equity and inclusion are important issues for a sustainable society, so we should promote transport infrastructures that are equitable and inclusive. The socioeconomic impacts of high-speed rail (HSR) systems are important considerations for policymakers when planning new lines, assessing their feasibility, and identifying financing sources for sustainable mobility. However, little attention is paid to their effects on equity, outside of studies of facility and service access and economics. A greater focus on HSR and equity issues by governments could help to advance solutions that reduce the negative effects of new projects in favor of more inclusive development. This SI provides some contributions featuring qualitative and quantitative analyses, case studies, and policy insights on the impacts of HSR on equity.
