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
As a newly developing method, tool path generation based on vector fields often requires pre-partitioning of the surface, leading to non-smooth paths at the boundaries between surface segments. To tackle this challenge, we propose a novel global tool path planning method based on vector fields. Our approach eliminates the need for pre-partitioning of the surface and incorporates considerations to achieve uniform variance of the scallop height while ensuring path smoothness. As a result, our method enables the generation of smooth paths globally while simultaneously achieving length optimality. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method, as it achieves both smoothness and length optimality compared to state-of-the-art methods.
