Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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
Graduate nursing education in the United States has undergone significant changes over the last decade with institution of the doctorate in nursing practice (2006) and the revised Essentials of Master's Education in Nursing (2011). An overview of the status of community/public health nursing (C/PHN) education and practice during the past 100 years provides a historic context for understanding the current situation of the specialty. An analysis of U.S. graduate nursing programs in C/PHN is used to foreground a discussion of the factors that may significantly affect community/public health nurses' interest in graduate education and the ability to sustain a master's-prepared C/PHN workforce. Questions are raised about how the potential loss of this particular specialty may influence the practice of C/PHN and the role of nursing in general in ensuring the public's health. Recommendations are offered for strengthening the specialty long-term, with a particular focus on C/PHN education and practice.
