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
This article attempts to understand the librarians’ perceptions of quality chat reference services of selected academic libraries in the Philippines. It aims to investigate the perceptions of librarians in terms of (1) chat reference definition; (2) similarities and differences of reference interview in chat reference and traditional reference; (3) advantages and disadvantages of chat reference and in-person reference; and, (4) successful and less successful experience in chat reference. Using the Critical Incident Technique (CIT), a survey of 20 library staff who perform chat reference services in UP Diliman and UP Los Baños was conducted. A total of 76 critical incidents were analyzed using MAXqda, wherein 61.84% were positive incidents. The success of chat interactions was dependent on librarians’ knowledge of information resources and, a fast and stable Internet connection
