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
Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide-based polymer that is synthesised from chitin through a deacetylation process. Chitin occurs naturally as organised crystalline microfibrils that form structural components in arthropod exoskeletons, fungus or yeast cell walls. Commercial chitosan is primarily derived from marine biowaste, such as crab and shrimp shells. Chitosan possesses excellent biological properties such as biocompatibility, antibacterial activity, wound healing, coagulating activity, bioadhesivity, and regenerative capabilities. This chapter will provide an overview of the various marine biowaste sources used to produce chitosan and its derivatives, as well as its applicability in combination with other polymers, emphasising current and prospective applications in tissue engineering.
