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
President Obama has called the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico "the worst environmental disaster America has ever faced." Pundits have debated the long-term ecological impact, the effect on jobs, the potential for psychological and physical consequences. The numbers are staggering: more than a dozen lives lost during and after the explosion, about five million barrels of oil spilled, some 1,500 oiled birds found dead, a payout of more than $4 billion by BP-with a lot more to come.In light of the news story that has captured headlines since BP's well exploded on April 20, we asked two faculty members to share their thoughts about the spill. David Uhlmann writes about criminal prosecution, and Ted Parson offers his perspective about the effect the spill will have on energy policies. In addition, Law School staff member John Masson discusses the photos he captured when he was deployed as a Coast Guard reservist.
