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 People's Republic of China and the Islamic Republic of Iran are both political orders born of revolution, dedicated to restoring their countries' independence and sovereignty after extended periods of dominance by foreign -- above all, Western -- powers. Over the past quarter century, both the People's Republic and the Islamic Republic have come to see themselves as "rising powers," and have developed multi-dimensional cooperative relations with one another, with particular emphases on energy, trade and investment ties, and regional security issues. Each side, though, has also crafted its approach to developing the Sino-Iranian relationship against the backdrop of its strategic and policy objectives vis-à-vis the United States, the global superpower and, especially since the end of the Cold War, the Persian Gulf's putative hegemon. This chapter explores how the perceptions of political and policy elites in both Beijing and Tehran -- perceptions of relative American decline and of various aspects of U.S. foreign policy as increasingly hostile toward both the People's Republic and the Islamic Republic -- are boosting the willingness of Chinese and Iranian policymakers to expand Sino-Iranian relations in ways that defy Washington's clear preferences.
