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
First identified in Uganda in 1947, the Zika virus simmered quietly for 60 years, occasionally causing a mild dengue-like illness across parts of central Africa and equatorial Asia. However, since 2007, three large outbreaks have occurred: first in Micronesia; then in French Polynesia in 2013–2014; and as an epidemic involving Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America in 2015–2016. This article reviews the virology of the Zika virus, its modes of transmission, symptoms of Zika virus disease, the association of Zika infections with microcephaly and Guillain-Barre syndrome, prevention of Zika infections, and ongoing efforts to develop a vaccine.
