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
For some years, it has seemed to me that enough countries have had experience with programs designed to improve the quality of financial reporting that a comparison of their different approaches should be essayed. In 1969, when I accepted Professor Edward Stamp's kind invitation to deliver the 1970 Arthur Andersen & Co. Lecture at the University of Edinburgh, I selected the title "Forging Accounting Principles in Five Countries." Although I had more than a year to prepare for the presentation, I didn't realize how massive and challenging was the research I proposed I under take. The following are the chapters from the book: Chapter 1 (Great Britain): http://ssrn.com/abstract=2045714 Chapter 2 (Mexico): http://ssrn.com/abstract=2046059 Chapter 3 (United States): http://ssrn.com/abstract=2046087 Chapter 4: (Canada): http://ssrn.com/abstract=2046062 Chapter 5: (A Critical Review of the Evolving Trends): http://ssrn.com/abstract=2046066
