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
During the summer months of 2008, CSB/SJU students worked as field assistants to Prof. Kristina Timmerman (Biology) in Ecuador studying the mysterious Andean bear community. The spectacled (or Andean) bear (Tremarctos ornatus) is the only bear species found in South America. Habitat destruction and subsequent conversion of land to agricultural production is the largest threat to the survival of this charismatic species. Conservation of this endangered species requires reliable information about habitat and landscape use, food resource requirements and population dynamics. In her presentation, Prof. Timmerman discusses this research that she and her assistants carried out in Ecuador, including the study of the risk of bear-human interaction. In doing so, Prof. Timmerman discusses the benefit of this type of international scientific research and cultural experience for CSB/SJU students.
