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
A key question facing maternal health in Nigeria is whether redress can be sought where a woman is unable to access necessary healthcare whether at a pre-pregnancy stage, pre-natal stage, during birth and after birth and suffers thereby. In other words, are the global commitments to improving maternal health in Nigeria of a sort that proper action can be founded on it by affected women for breach? Leaving aside considerations of financial capability to enforce the commitments, the answer to the above question is dependent on whether there is a legal right to maternal health in Nigeria. Accordingly, this paper argues that maternal health care is so fundamenmtal to the advancement of Nigeria and should be given the status of a right to compel adherence, by state actors, to the international commitments made to redress the poor state of maternal health in the country.
