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
Under the categorical heading of defamation suits arising out of the employment termination context, there is a small but growing subcategory of cases known as the compelled self-publication cases. In this subcategory, the discharged employee sues the former employer on the basis of an allegedly false and defamatory statement made by the former employer exclusively to the discharged employee at the time of the employment termination. The seemingly absent element of publication of the statement is provided by the discharged employee's repetition of the statement, under effective compulsion, to a prospective employer. The author examines the development of the compelled self-publication doctrine, explores its strength and weaknesses, and recommends its adoption by other courts as they face the issue.
