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
Himalyan bayberry (Myrica esculenta) fruit in Indian Himalayan region was evaluated for total polyphenol contents, antioxidant, and anticancer activities in 4 different solvent systems namely 80% each of methanol, acidicmethanol, acetone, and acidic-acetone to ensure the optimum recovery. Himalyan bayberry acidic-acetone (MeAA) extracts showed highest recovery of phenolics, flavonoids, freeradical scavenging, and ferric-reducing activities followed by acetone (MeA), acidic-methanol (MeAM), and methanol (MeM) extracts. Both MeA and MeAA extracts showed potent anticancer activities leading to 70-92% reduction in the viability of C33A, SiHa, and HeLa cells while exhibiting no cytotoxicity towards normal transformed cell lines. The RP-HPLC analysis revealed abundance of gallic acid [793.74 mg/100 g of fruit weight (f.w.) in MeA], myricetin (345.6 mg/100 g f.w. in MeAA), caffeic acid (246.6 mg/100 g f.w. in MeM), catechin (190.181 mg/100 g f.w. in MeAA) while traces of chlorogenic acid (17.67 mg/100 g f.w. in MeAA), transcinnamic acid (5.91 mg/100 g f.w. in MeA), p-coumaric acid (5.84 mg/100 g f.w. in MeA), and ellagic acid (2.21 mg/100 g f.w. in MeA) corroborating the high antioxidant and anticancer activities of Himalyan bayberry fruit extracts. © 2013 The Korean Society of Food Science and Technology and Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
