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.

Thesis / Dissertation Description
The paper deals mainly with the graph of the more common polar curves. However, supplementary data such as the cartesian equation of the curve, the area and the intersection of two curves, are also provided. Its main objective is to offer effective visual aids to students. A program is written using Turbo Pascal 4.0. This program is able to graph different curves, from a simple straight line to the complicated Spiral of Archimedes. Other functions include converting polar equations to their corresponding cartesian equations, computing for the area of an enclosed curve, and finding the points of intersection of two curves. This user-friendly program is designed to provide aid without the complications of computer literacy.
