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.

Article Description
In order to better understand the feasibility and limitations of the autogen (White 1980), a computer simulation based on the fluctuating clay environment was used to test whether autocatalytic growth would occur under various conditions. The results suggest that overall accuracies of replication and translation in the range of 90% and 10%, and protoenzyme turnover numbers of 10-120 monomers/protoenzyme/day are adequate for exponential growth. Nucleation of the components of the autogen from random background oligomers would be extremely rapid if oligomers lengths 2-6 were adequately functional, whereas oligomer lengths much greater than 10 are prohibited. The autogen would most likely nucleate and grow to dominance either rapidly (10-100 cycles of roughly 1 day each) or not at all. © 1982 Springer-Verlag.
