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
The purpose of this project is to design and manufacture a device to assist a user when changing a vehicle tire. The process to change a vehicle tire is often a physically demanding task that requires full physical mobility and may require assistance from a second person. This physical demand increases significantly for persons with physical disabilities or incapabilities. The device features a lightweight, mobile scissor lift device powered by a gas spring. The device possesses the ability to lift the tire to a sedan trunk for retrieval or storage. Additionally, the device allows the user to easily align the tire to the bolts for attachment, while eliminating the requirement of the user to hold the tire in place. Through an iterative design, prototyping, and testing process, a device was manufactured to fulfill the purpose of the project goal. The device was designed and fabricated for easy transportation and use as an alternative to roadside service. Due to the device being a new concept on the market, there is opportunity for future iterations and improvements.
