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
Massive deforestation in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil has reduced native forest cover in the biome to ~23%. Research suggests that restoration to at least 30% of native forest cover is required to avoid a potentially catastrophic ecological collapse. This paper presents a policy recommendation for the restoration of native forest cover in the Atlantic Forest, through an eco-currency called the Marc (Mata Atlantica Restoration Currency). The paper shows that the eco-currency can serve as a powerful tool in achieving ecological goals, can prove cost-effective for the government and would be less subject to volatile fluctuations than conventional currencies
