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
University-community collaboration has become increasingly prevalent in recent years as higher education reexamines its roles and responsibilities within the larger society. While partnerships provide tremendous benefits to both sides, they can be a source of frustration and disappointment. This paper discusses various types of university-community partnerships and provides suggestions for increasing their sustainability. The author describes the evolution of a partnership between the University of Georgia School of Social Work and the Garnett Ridge community in Athens, Georgia. Based on data from this case study, the author posits that the sustainability of university-community partnerships encompasses two aspects: sustainability of the relationship and sustainability of the project. The continuum of university-community projects, from university-based to community-based, is illustrated. The author concludes that increasing the chances of success for transitioning a project from university-based to community-based can increase the sustainability of university-community partnerships.
