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.

Paper Description
This study provides an overview of the importance of elephants to Kenya and recognizes the issues they face, namely poaching and human-elephant conflict. Kenya’s government strategized how to protect its elephants for future conservation and is heavily supported by NGO’s. This study examines the effect the one such NGO, David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in concern to elephant conservation. A unique contribution to the conservation strategy is the global awareness raised through this organization’s world renown elephant orphanage and rehabilitation program. However, positive reception from the local community is a continual struggle in the fight for peaceful co-existence between man and elephant.
