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
Gary D. Oyster, DDS, emphasizes the importance of political action for dentists, highlighting the pressures from insurance companies and workforce demands. He stresses that building relationships with legislators through contributions to state and federal political action committees (PACs) is crucial for effective advocacy. Oyster encourages dentists to participate in fundraisers and engage with legislators to influence dental-related policies. He notes that only a small percentage of dentists currently contribute to PACs and urges more to join to strengthen their collective influence.
