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
Intellectual properties are the innovations which are created in the minds of the human beings. The creators or the innovators of these new creations are awarded with exclusive rights in order to encourage their effort. Intellectual property rights law grants the creator or the inventor of the intellectual property a monopoly to be exercised over the particular intellectual property, as a reward for his intellect. On the other hand, the monopoly which the innovator exercises may influence the public interest in a negative way. For example, when a person who invents a medicine for a disease obtains patent protection for his innovation, he gets a monopoly or an exclusive set of rights for its exploitation. As a result, he can set a high price for the medicine. This can negatively affect general public who are in need of the medicine, but cannot afford to buy it. Here comes the conflict between the public interest and the private rights of the innovator which was created by granting intellectual property rights.
