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
Travel review websites has become increasingly popular among travelers. But there is a lack of research on the motivations of travel review website use, and it is inconclusive whether customers use travel review websites because of different gratifications obtained in their travel review website use. Most research on travel review websites focuses on the utilitarian use of content on travel review website, such as eWOM, but less is known about whether other gratifications in using travel review websites might shape customers’ travel review website use, such as social and hedonic gratifications. In this article, we explore travel review website use among individuals from a Uses & Gratifications perspective. In addition to the content gratification obtained in using travel review website, such as eWOM information, two other categories of gratifications from travel review website use are also examined in this study: social gratification and hedonic gratification. The results indicate that content gratification (eWOM completeness) and hedonic gratification (enjoyment and curiosity fulfillment) in using travel review websites determine user satisfaction with a travel review website.
