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
Romans boasted that in their metrical social criticism which they called satire they had created a new literary genre. To some extent they were correct, for they gave satire a definite form and established it as a separate individual branch of literature. It is a constant source of interest, however, to find that Horace and Juvenal, the two greatest Roman satirists, are distinctly different in their treatment of the same subjects. Some have claimed that the disparity is due to the environmental changes in the hundred years which separate the two authors. Most critics now, such as John W. Duff, Gilbert Highet, G. L. Hendrickson, Edward Rand, and H.J. Rose agree that the most important clue to the difference is in the personality of each man. The problem of this thesis is to attempt to determine by an examination of the satires of Horace and Juvenal to what extent their different treatments can be attributed to differences in personality, and to what extent they are due to political and social conditions under which the poetry was written. The first chapter briefly sketches the derivation of the word "satire" and its development as a literary type at Rome. Chapter two traces the social, political, and intellectual environments of Horace and Juvenal as a background for chapter three in which their satires are compared.
