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
In my paper I examine the rise of narrative nonfiction in the 1960's and 70's as well its more recent iterations today. By drawing a line between Joan Didion and the New Journalists in the 1960's and Dave Eggers and his millennial cohorts today, I look to pinpoint what drives narrative nonfiction and attempt to understand how the knotty genre has grown, adapted and altered over time. What are the enduring effects of the New Journalism? How has the movement impacted the nonfiction genre today? And finally, can we term authors like Dave Eggers, whose novelistic prose certainly owes a debt to writers like Tom Wolfe and Joan Didion, New Journalists? Is there a new New Journalism?
