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.

Article Description
Fetal alcohol syndrome disorder (FASD) is a syndrome affecting some children whose mothers consumed alcohol while pregnant. The effects of FASD are based on genetic predisposition, level of maternal alcohol consumption, fetal age during alcohol consumption and the over-all health of the mother and fetus. Psychologists have compared FASD with attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and found that they differ in two major areas: motor skills and cognitive performance. Without recognizing differences and diagnosing the disorders correctly, doctors may allow symptoms to go untreated. These untreated symptoms may lead to secondary disabilities and result in incorrectly prescribed medications. With more research, doctors may not prescribe ADHD medication for children diagnosed with FASD because they may recognize differences between the disorders and understand how ADHD medication negatively affects them. An accurate diagnosis could lead to better use of ADHD medications as doctors may recognize differences between FASD and ADHD.
