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
This article introduces a symposium issue on “What’s Wrong With Rights for Children?” -- and why has the United States failed to ratify the 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Children, even though every nation besides Somalia has done so. The symposium contributors analyze the distinct needs, concerns, interests, rights, and duties of children. They further analyze whether the U.N. Convention is the best formulation of children’s rights and what steps could be taken to improve it. The contributors range from ardent supporters to deep skeptics about children’s rights in general and the UN Convention in particular. This article maps the range of arguments pro and con, but presses for ratification of the Convention and vindication of the essential rights of all children.
