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
Central to Singapore's land transport strategy is to develop an extensive rapid transit network to provide quality public transit services and maximize accessibility for commuters to key nodes of employment, housing, leisure, and other social activities. This paper presents a study on the impact of the mass rapid transit (MRT) network on accessibility in Singapore using an integrated GIS tool. Four types of accessibility are assessed, including accessibility to the central business district, to the working population, and to industrial and commercial opportunities. It also analyzes the changes in accessibility brought about by the new MRT lines. The accessibility analyses conducted herein show that the closer to the central area of Singapore and the EastWest MRT line a location is, the higher accessibility it attains, and the new NorthEast MRT line has greatly improved accessibility of the northeastern areas, but has little impact on accessibility of the northern, northwestern, and eastern part of the country.
