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.

Thesis / Dissertation Description
It is the purpose of this study to analyze the humor of William Dean Howells and, if possible, to capture something of its elusive spirit. To do this, the nature, purpose and technic of it are separately considered insofar as it is possible to do so with a indivisible quality.Naturally, this paper makes no mistaken claim to be the concluding word on this subject. Too many more acute analyses have tried to do so, only to meet with partial success, if not total failure. It is therefore for both the sins of omission and commission that the writer asks the reader to deal with it as Howells' humor would have dealt with it, according to its weak-nesses rather than its deserts.
