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.

Review Description
Abstract: Polylactic acid is a polyester polymer, which is recyclable and renewable as well. Membrane made of polylactic acid is acquiring attention nowadays due to its superior properties and versatility in application. This review primarily explains various synthesis routes of polylactic acid membrane and its applications. Sometimes, in membrane synthesis, polylactic acid is used with some other copolymers such as caprolactam, ethylene glycol to obtain the required functionality or property for its specific application. Some copolymers that find it helpful with polylactic acid for membrane synthesis are also discussed here with its specificity and enhanced properties. In this review, precise and detailed PLA membrane structure and its degradation mechanism is discussed. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].
