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
This essay focuses on Beijing’s repression of its Uigher population, a religious and ethnic minority community residing in northwest China. Recent human rights violations have attracted significant attention among journalists, activists and policy makers. Still, this writing argues that Beijing’s tactics reflect worsening human rights violations spanning decades rather than years. In addition to providing historical context, this essay makes an important contribution to existing literature because it applies Interest Convergence Theory to the instant context. In so far as its laws, policies and practices create fertile breeding grounds for violent extremism locally and internationally, it is in Beijing’s strategic interest to respect, protect and advance human rights for all citizens.
