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
Biospecimens are important reagents that are used to diagnose disease, monitor response to treatment and help in the development and testing of new therapies to treat human disease. In order to provide these critical functions, biospecimens need to maintain their requisite biological properties between the time that they are collected and when they are used. It is common for biospecimens to be frozen to preserve those critical biological properties. The purpose of this chapter is to describe our scientific understanding behind the freezing, storage and thawing processes that take place during cryopreservation and the manner by which these processes can preserve or damage the sample. Practical hints for applying scientific principles to daily biobanking practice are also included.
