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
It is undeniable that solid waste management in the Syrian refugees host communities was one of the most challenging services to be properly provided to the vulnerable communities by municipalities in Jordan. This paper presents the current waste generation and composition for both Irbid and Mafraq which are considered urban and rural areas, respectively, based on the urbanization index. Hence, the MSW composition in Irbid has relatively less organic content (51%) and more plastics (11%) and papers (12%) than that at Greater Mafraq (58% organics, 10% plastics, and 9% papers). On the other hand, the study reveals that the waste recycling (19%) and recovering (25%) in Mafraq Governorate are relatively much better than that in Irbid Governorate where waste recycling and recovering are 9 and 8%, respectively. The study presents a possible waste recycling model and opportunities to link the private waste-picking activities with the public SWM sector at the local municipality and dumpsite levels. A participatory model to create income generation potentials for the most vulnerable groups in the society (Jordanian Citizen and Syrian Refugees) is proposed based on the study findings.
