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
When You Have A Postcard for A FatherAbigail Shea NibblettENG 470C: Creative Nonfiction SeminarSponsoring Faculty: Prof. Colin Rafferty“When You Have A Postcard for A Father” explores the complicated emotions and memories tied to being the daughter of a constantly travelling United States Air Force Chief Master Sergeant. The long essay explores how he maintained a positive presence in the girl’s life despite the challenges of his schedule and how the souvenirs that he always brought back showed his love even when he could not be there physically. By tying in the lyrics of “I’m Already There,” by Lonestar, a list of the places and souvenirs, utilizing scenes of his return home, and capturing the constant threat of deployment, the essay grows with the girl, demonstrating how as she gets older, her ability to give back to her dad increases, and she ultimately discovers that the only gift that truly makes a difference is the gift of time.
