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
American universities are thought to be ahead of universities in Europe in terms of use of the Internet for students’ learning processes. This study with a total of 893 participants in the US and in Germany investigates the use and the perception of the Internet for educational purposes with a special focus on three learning scenarios, instructional, collaborative, and autonomous. The study confirms the more extended use and the better perception of the Internet in the US. It outlines several explanatory factors and concludes with the need for further investigations regarding the reasons behind this too easily accepted well-known trend.
