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
The following annotated bibliography provides information in a number of areas. The state laws related to legalizing medical marijuana in effect as of January 2015 are summarized. In addition to the statute summaries, annotations of select articles are provided. The greatest portion of materials annotated involves federalism discussions and employment related issues. Also included, but to a much lesser extent are family law, transportation, and attorney ethics. Additionally, a few articles on state regulatory power and other topics are included. As this bibliography was being created, the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate introduced legislation to reclassify marijuana within the Controlled Substances Act. Those bills are referenced in a section of the bibliography. At the end of the document there are lists of recent newspaper coverage of the medical marijuana laws and debates in the United States. The creators of this bibliography did not attempt to cover the breadth of information available on this topic. These resources are meant to provide a broad picture of the medical marijuana discussion at this time, along with some history of the topic. There is significantly more literature available on medical marijuana and the various legal issues surrounding it. However, this bibliography will give researchers a good start on compiling relevant materials for further study.
