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
In this research, we empirically investigate the payoff of aggressive bidding in an online auction. To address our research question, we use a unique and very rich dataset containing actual market transaction data for approximately 7,000 pay-per-bid auctions. Our research design allows us to isolate the impact of bidding aggressively in an attempt to signal a high valuation on the probability to win an auction. In particular, we analyze more than 600,000 bids placed manually by approximately 2,600 distinct auction participants. The strong and significantly negative effect of aggressive bidding on the likelihood of winning an auction revealed by our analysis suggests that an aggressive bidding strategy is not beneficial in increasing the chances of winning an online auction.
