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
In this article I argue that the region-code or zoning made by Hollywood for movie DVDs are in violation with the main principle of the European Single Marked since May First, 2004 when three Baltic countries became members of the E.U. as the latter by Hollywood are put into another DVD zone (the Russian zone) than previous E.U. member states. I argue that the E.U. must allow its citizens to violate the Hollywood region-code system as it is in violation with the European Single Marked principle, just as no state of the United States would accept to be put into another DVD region-zone than the rest of the states of U.S. I argue the Movie industry should find another and proper feature to protect their copyright. Finally, I argue that consumers should have no right to make a back-up of or copy a bought DVD. If broken, they must buy a new.
