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
Over the past ten years, private equity and venture capital have played an increasingly important role in the European economy. In parallel to the increase in investments, contribution of the private equity and venture capital industry to employment in Europe has grown. Against this background, the European Ventura Capital and Private Equity Association has commissioned the Center for Entrepreneurial and Financial Studies (CEFS) at the Technische Universität München to undertake a research study on the contribution of the private equity and venture capital sector to European employment. 201 private equity and venture capital-backed companies participated in the pan-European survey. The study has found that private equity and venture-backed companies employed between 4.8 and 6.4 million people in Europe in 2004. European private equity and venture capital-financed companies created 1 million jobs between 2000 and 2004. 420,000 new jobs were created in buy-out financed companies and 630,000 new jobs in venture-backed companies within this period. Employment grew in buyout-financed companies by 2.4% and in venture-backed companies by 30.5% on average per year between 1997 and 2004.
