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 Bertholletia excelsa Bonpl. seed, Brazil nut, is one of the most important non-timber forest products in the Amazon forest. The commercialization of this nut provides one of the significant sources of income for many indigenous and riverine communities. B. excelsa production is considered organic and environmentally correct. The kernel is an excellent source of protein, energy, and minerals such as selenium (Se), calcium, and magnesium. Selenium is the predominant mineral in B. excelsa, essential in numerous physiological functions. B. excelsa seed has a valuable bioactive composition, including phenolics, flavonoids, tocopherol, and phytosterols, unsaturated fatty acids, proteins, amino acids, and dietary fiber. Intake of phenolic compounds has been associated with potentially beneficial health effects related to anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic, and anticarcinogenic activities. Lipids from B. excelsa are considered as beneficial for health due to the high content of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and low concentration of saturated fatty acids (SFAs).
