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
In 2010, the French Senate and National Assembly approved a statute that, though facially neutral, was intended to ban full face veils worn by Muslim women in France, specifically the burqa and niqab. The French public, including French people of Muslim heritage, largely supported the law, but global commentators allege the statute constitutes an impermissible violation of personal freedoms and is racist, paternalistic, and the product of political opportunism. Suspicion of efforts to control what women can and cannot wear is well-founded, especially in light of ongoing efforts to control women’s bodies and punish deviance from societal norms. Regulation of veiling, however, may be justified in some circumstances given the implications of the practice for women who do not wish to veil. This paper argues that given the specific circumstances in France, the interests of women who wish to veil are outweighed by the interests of women who lack a meaningful choice due to community pressure, family coercion, or threats of violence, as well as those of women who do not veil.
