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
The purpose of this study is to examine the suitability of machine learning (ML) techniques for predicting students’ performance. By analyzing various ML algorithms, the authors assess the accuracy and reliability of these approaches, considering factors such as data quality, feature selection, and model complexity. The findings indicate that certain ML methods are more effective for student performance forecasting, emphasizing the need for a deliberate evaluation of these factors. This study provides significant contributions to the field of education and reinforces the growing use of ML in decision-making and student performance prediction.
