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
The evolution and distribution laws of fracture fields directly affect the efficiency of mining methane extraction. In this study, a physical model test method and a DIC speckle analysis system were used to examine the distribution laws of the dominant mining fracture fields of pressure relief methane migration in working face advancement processes. The results revealed that during the advancement of working faces, the fracture angles on both sides of the goafs and the top separation fractures form ladder-type overburden fracture structures. A large number of penetrating cracks were generated in the caving zone, transition zone and vertical fracture zone in the ladder structure, which provided dominant channels for methane migration. The average extraction purity of 12 m/min and the average concentration of methane extraction in surface wells were both above 90% in the fracture-filled area. Methane had an excellent migration channel and storage space. As the fracture begins to close, the methane extraction efficiency decreases until the methane extraction concentration was reduced to a minimum of 8.1% and the methane extraction purity was reduced to a minimum of 0.03 m/min. The field data change results of methane extraction were consistent with the experimental theory. The research results can provide references for improving the efficiency of methane extraction and optimizing the layout of drilling wells and their horizons.
