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.

Artifact Description
The online health consultation platforms provide a unique context for doctors to share health information privately and publicly. However, how doctors’ reputation is shaped in the context of online information sharing has been largely neglected in the current literature. This study explores the relationship between information sharing and reputation by distinguishing private and public information sharing behaviours and investigating the contingent roles of doctors’ professional and online seniority. Data from a leading online consultation platform in China was obtained to test the research model and associated hypotheses. The results reveal that both private and public sharing can contribute to doctors’ online reputation and the effects of the two information sharing behaviours are different about doctors within different professional and online seniority. This study contributes to the literature on health information sharing and online reputation development.
