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
The neoliberal reality of the past 40 years has caused changes in the workplace, restricting people’s freedom and compromising their well-being, often not allowing them to develop their human abilities in the way they choose to. This paper focuses on a neglected aspect of neoliberalism that contributes to this problem: the orientation of the core values of neoliberalism. I contend that the value system of neoliberalism is structured on what can be characterized as ‘male’ values, and this leads to a fragmentation of the labour experience, altering the lived experience of work for the vast majority of people. I argue that to reverse this state of affairs, a fundamental shift in our values is required that goes beyond just implementing policies and changing wage relations. Some important insights for this shift can be found in the capabilities approach and the ethics of care.
