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
Recent years have witnessed growing scholarship on historical angel and demon conjuring texts. Less attention has been paid to ambiguous spiritual entities, such as “fairies,” “jinn,” and the morally neutral Greco-Roman “daemons,” which do not fit into the Judeo-Christian tradition. Others are ambiguous because the text’s author depicts angels or demons acting in unorthodox ways. This panel will offer a subtler understanding of pre-modern belief by exploring liminal spirits in conjuring texts. This will provide insight into how the elite intellectual culture of ritual magic in the West and East, popular beliefs, and inherited concepts from the Classical tradition intersected.David Porreca
