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
The adoption of object-oriented technology for spatial data modeling is becoming a significant trend in GIS. This research explores the concepts of Object-Oriented GIS (OOGIS) and illustrates its versatility in two case studies. OOGIS provides a feature-based, intuitive representation of real world features. The study emphasizes the fundamental concepts of inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation in OOGIS and explores schema design, long transactions, and versioning. Further, the study discusses the advantages of OOGIS in the management and analysis of geospatial data. The case studies demonstrate both the conceptual basis of OOGIS and specific functionality including behavior, methods, versioning, long transactions and data locking. OOGIS demonstrates many advantages over the traditional entity-relationship model in database maintenance and functionality.
