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.

Book Chapter Description
The Tradescantia micronucleus assay has been used since 50 years for the detection of genotoxins (including carcinogens) in the environment. A large database concerning the effects of individual chemicals and complex environmental mixtures (soil, air and waters) has accumulated. In contrast to other mutagenicity test systems, the effects of low concentrations of heavy metals, radionuclides, certain herbicides, pesticides and gaseous mutagens can be detected and it is also possible to conduct in situ biomonitoring studies with plant. The test system has been validated and standardized protocols have been developed for laboratory experiments and for field studies which are described in this chapter.
