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
Employment contracts often contain provisions which seek to limit the employee's right to compete directly or indirectly with the employer when the employment terminates. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has generally enforced covenants not to compete which are reasonable in scope, necessary for the protection of the employer and not unduly burdensome to the employee. This article reviews the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's recent decisions regarding covenants not to compete. Specifically, the article discusses the impact of these decisions on three major employment groups: salespersons, doctors and executives. The author concludes that the court's application of the reasonableness standard has been inconsistent, tending to favor more highly skilled and paid employees while indiscriminately enforcing the employment restrictions against lower paid employees. Finally, the author proposes a statutory and a judicial approach to covenants not to compete designed to introduce more certainty into this area.
