Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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
Introduction For dental practices to become more environmentally sustainable, the full co-operation of all practice staff can lead to greater engagement with proposed initiatives. Action research is a participatory approach to change that involves participants in the decisions that affect them. Aim The aim of this study was to collaboratively develop interventions to improve environmental sustainability at one dental practice. Methods This was a mixed methods study following an action research process for intervention design. The study was set in a mixed NHS/private dental practice in England, UK. Results Participants engaged in the process and were able to choose the measures they wished to implement. Feedback showed that whilst some measures had been discarded, others had led to changes both in professional and personal behaviour. Conclusion Action research offers an innovative and constructive method of engaging participants in developing their own sustainability strategies and can encourage positive change.
