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
As the Soviet Union appeared to surpass American nuclear capability in the late 1950s, the U.S. government moved quickly to reassert its nuclear dominance. That nuclear dominance was on display in the early 1960s in central Kansas, as twelve locations near Schilling Air Force Base (AFB) operated intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) as part of the nation's nuclear arsenal.
