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
Sports analytics have become a major part of how many sports fans enjoy the games they love. The trend has touched sports from football to cricket. One aspect of football that has been less discussed is punting. The current standard metrics, gross yardage and net yardage, give an idea of how a punter performed in a given season, but they also may be skewed by a number of factors, such as the skill of the offense or the punt coverage team. In this paper, we will look at some previous attempts to measure punting prowess, and then further develop a metric to reward punters for their skill while accounting for uncontrollable factors such as long returns and penalty yardage.
