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.

Artifact Description
Research showed that many career centers are underutilized by students because of unawareness of services or help-seeking stigmas. Further, gender and ethnicity may affect utilization and perceptions. A pair of studies was conducted to investigate student perceptions of college career center services. In the first study, undergraduates completed questionnaires evaluating their awareness and use of career center services, stigma related to career counseling, and career decision self-efficacy. In the second study, students evaluated individual career center counseling and workshops, while identifying any changes in confidence to face future career decisions. The results showed that students rated the career center very highly. However, there were a few significant gender differences, with females offering more approval towards the career center than males. Additionally, students who held higher stigmas of help-seeking were less likely to value career center services.
