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
Bradyrhizobiaceae is a family of Rhizobiales order into the Alphaproteobacteria class that presents 12 genera including the type genus Bradyrhizobium. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA sequences evoke a versatile family presenting a broad taxonomic affiliation with organisms from different environments like soil, plant, or animal hosts. Bacteria are pleomorphic with predominance of rod-shaped form. There is a diversity of phenotypic, metabolic, and ecological properties associated with each genus, and their participation in biogeochemical cycles is of extreme importance. Biological nitrogen fixation particularly performed by Bradyrhizobium is one of the most important ecological properties with potential application in agriculture, besides other diazotrophic members. In addition, the genus Afipia is clinically relevant once A. felis is a human pathogen causing the cat scratch disease. A lot of members of Bradyrhizobiaceae already had their genome completely sequenced which in turn corroborates their taxonomic classification. Considering that, taxonomy into Bradyrhizobiaceae will become better illustrated with advances in genomic projects applied to other members of this family.
