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.

Poster Description
Kenya made huge progress in 2010 when the people voted to pass a new constitution. Key laws in the document, such as the Integrity Bill, could be instrumental in guiding the people of Kenya in voting for their future president (summer 2012) and what that could mean for democracy in the country. Because of the high importance given to this topic in Kenya currently, it is a main focus for various media sources throughout the state. It is also important to note that there has been an international eye kept on the implementation, along with the upcoming election, due to the democratic consequences and the violent outbreak of 2007. This study looks to see how different sources of media, both domestic and international, portray the implementation of the 2010-approved Kenyan Constitution. Do international versus domestic media sources differ in their reporting on the Constitution depending and, if so, what factors cause emerging differences? Furthermore, what are common themes covered across media sources, if any exist, and what do they reveal about Constitutional implementation in an emerging democracy?
