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
Renewable energy projects bring about benefits to society as a whole, yet they affect citizens living in their vicinity. Negative externalities associated with renewable energy projects, such as noise or visual impact, cause local resistance to them. Community benefits bring about an element of distributive justice to these affected citizens and their communities as a form of compensation vis-à-vis these negative effects. This chapter analyzes the role, nature and modalities of community benefits regarding offshore wind projects by using the North Sea as a case study. It shows how different countries adopt diverse approaches in a varied regulatory landscape, and how new technological renewable energy solutions influence the types of benefits granted as well as their scope and extent. It concludes by demonstrating that even if offshore wind farms are located further offshore community benefits are still awarded by project developers and states as elements of energy justice and, recognition of citizens’ rights and expectations.
