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
In June 2021 Derry City and Strabane District Council in Northern Ireland adopted a pioneering motion on the ‘rights of nature.’ Within days, a similar motion was adopted by Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, followed by Donegal County Council in the Republic of Ireland in December 2021. To date, little research has been conducted into the nascent rights of nature movement on the island of Ireland. Existing analyses on rights of nature initiatives in Europe are generally quite limited, with few empirical studies to date. Yet, the movement across the island of Ireland raises important questions about the drivers (e.g., philosophical, cultural, political, legal) to pursuing rights of nature, as well as the implications of such initiatives. This paper contributes to addressing this gap, exploring these themes through an analysis of interviews with key stakeholders conducted across the island in June 2022.
