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.

Artifact Description
Pakistan’s has surpassed Brazil to become the fifth most populous country and is in dire need of transformative change to boost family planning use in order to meet 12 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (Population Council 2019). This paper specifically analyses whether exposure to information on family planning have its impact on fertility. The mechanism for this relationship would point towards an increase in use of contraceptive measures due to increased information on family planning through media and health care, which in return would directly reduce fertility. Using the dataset of Demographic and Health Survey from year 2017-2018 for Pakistan it is analyzed whether a particular source of information either of media or healthcare has any association with current fertility behavior of women. Applying bivariate probit regression and controlling for geographical, social, and household specific indicators it is estimated whether current pregnancy (via contraceptive method used) is correlated with exposure to information related to family planning. The results show that information transmitted through television and health worker have a strong negative impact on current pregnancy status of women.
