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.

Conference Paper Description
Operations Research (OR) is a required course in any applied math program in the Philippines. It involves complex and computation-heavy algorithms to guide and improve decision-making in organizations and relevant contexts. Despite the advent of software that have automated the computations or the implementation of algorithms, the teaching and learning of OR may still be rife with procedures being performed manually by hand. In this paper, we report on our initial progress on a research project that aims to revise the OR syllabi in one Philippine university, by integrating more technological tools in the teaching and learning of OR for undergraduate and graduate students. We present the study’s conceptual underpinnings and methodology, and discuss some initial results on the syllabi revisions.
