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
This experiment was based off of multiple prior studies done to determine a relationship between personality type and the sport each athlete plays. This study focussed on teenagers who played football, volleyball, or soccer. This study differentiates from the prior studies because it was specific sports rather than sport type, previous studies observed the relationship between extreme and traditional sports, and the athletes’ personality types. After reviewing these studies and their data, the hypothesis for this experiment was formed: If athletes are tested using the Big Five Personality Test, then the results will suggest a defined relationship between the athletes’ personality type and the sport they play. The null hypothesis formed is as follows: If athletes are tested using the Big Five Personality Test, then the results will suggest there will be no clear relationship between the athletes’ personality type and the sport they play. The independent variable is the sport each athlete plays. The gender, sport, day, and school are the constants/ controlled factors in the experiment. Each test was taken on practice days rather than game days to insure they were taken in the most relaxed manner possible. After completing the test and analyzing the results, the hypothesis was accepted.
