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
Seaweeds have been used since time immemorial in East Asia as spice, delicacy, and traditional medicines. In the recent decades, extensive studies have been done to establish health-promoting activities and pharmacological actions of seaweed-derived bioactive materials. These bioactive materials and extracts have been shown to possess a wide spectrum of biological actions, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antivirus, anticancer, antihypertensive, fat-lowering, and neuroprotective activities. Hence, seaweeds have gained much importance in pharmaceutical product development due to their rich bioactive compounds including polysaccharides, pigments, phlorotannins, peptides, mineral, and vitamins. Intensive efforts are still being made to isolate and identify new bioactive ingredients derived from seaweeds with potential medicinal, health, or pharmaceutical activities. The present chapter aims to narrate pharmaceutical potential and challenge of bioactive materials present in seaweeds.
