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
In Hong Kong Indonesian migrant domestic workers (IMDWs) face strict working conditions and are vulnerable to human rights abuses and exploitation. Nevertheless, travelling abroad has provided the opportunity for somewhat greater freedom, agency and the opportunity to express a more fluid sexual identity, than in their home country where there has been a push to a more conservative moral heterosexual agenda. This article examines a group of lesbian Indonesian migrant domestic workers, named PL. Through fashion and behaviour they challenge conservative and normative comportment of Indonesian women. In particular with reference to the growing concerns for sexual freedom in Indonesia, it is important to consider how same-sex relationships and gender-fluid activity is enacted outside of the national context. This research explores how IMDWs articulate their romantic and sexual needs in a foreign land which has created somewhat new identities, love relationships and life balance from what they may experience in their homeland.
