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
This paper discusses and compares definitions of the terms business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-tobusiness (B2B) e-commerce to assist the e-business community to take better advantage of the potential of the ecommerce medium. The absence of consensual definitions in terminology may be preventing the e-business community from taking full advantage of the unique characteristics that the medium provides. A definition of B2C e-commerce is proposed. Finally, the paper notes the overlapping nature of B2B and B2C e-commerce.
