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.

Lecture / Presentation Description
Our presentation will trace the ten-year evolution of the unique mentoring program for English majors at the Cedarville University Writing Center (CUWC). Two present tutors, the CUWC assistant director (also a CUWC alumnus), and the CUWC director will share how our English majors’ ever-increasing needs caused us to gravitate toward specialist tutoring. We will also share students’ evaluations of their mentors, discuss advantages and disadvantages of our program, and ask audience members to participate.
