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.

Paper Description
The recent revelations of major scandal in the mutual funds industry have brought intense feelings of betrayal and financial loss to millions of fund shareholders, whose assets were improperly and illegally diminished. Shareholders need and deserve much greater protection and transparency of normative fund data and disclosure that meets their normative shareholder needs. To this end, the study provides guidance for identifying mutual fund advisers and funds that are both superior performers and likely to remain shareholder stewards' fiduciary funds. Through application of four particular dimensions of analysis, shareholders are able to identify funds with attributes consistent with fiduciary funds. The fund scandal has proved that the identification of fiduciary funds is essential to thoughtful fund investing.
