Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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
The rapid and unchecked spread of Ebola Virus Disease has created serious problems for health authorities and professionals within the local and international community. More so, the socio-economic implications of the spread of these diseases to infected persons, their families and the global community at large is alarming as viral diseases are catalysts for economic shutdowns, international border closures, and the termination of contractual relations and suspension of free movement of persons. Government may lawfully quarantine persons who are suffering from infectious or contagious disease regardless of their rights to personal liberty. However, imposing sanctions might not increase compliance with quarantine measures. Whether the Ebola outbreak in Nigeria may be treated as a force majeure event will depend on whether the description of force majeure events can be interpreted in a way to accommodate the Ebola outbreak or whether the Ebola outbreak makes performance of contractual obligation impracticable.
