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.

Conference Paper Description
The paper presents a critical analysis of media reports about the implementation of an ICT Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector regulatory system called Consolidated ICT Regulatory Management System (CIRMS). The study draws upon Habermas’ Theory of Communicative Action to analyse media reports on CIRMS implementation using the case of Malawi. The findings showed that there were potential benefits for implementing the CIRMS to address challenges of regulating the ICT sector including supporting billing, revenue collection and quality of ICT services. However, there were also communication distortions on CIRMS in the media that affected the processes and decisions of implementing the system that had wider implications beyond the ICT sector regulator. The study contributes towards literature on implementation of ICT sector regulatory systems in the context of developing countries.
