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
Cellulase activity on insoluble cellulose substrates declines as the substrate is modified. The role of structural changes that result in substrate recalcitrance, such as changes to cellulose crystallinity, requires further investigation. Crystallinity of cellulose samples with varying extents of digestion can only be compared meaningfully using a high throughput - Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (HTS-FTIR) technique when the many variables involved are carefully controlled. Hence, changes to the HTS-FTIR sample preparation methods previously described in literature were necessary in order to obtain clean raw spectra and reliable measures of cellulose crystallinity. The sample preparation methods of residual cellulose after digestion by individual cellulases and a complex cellulase mixture from T. fusca were improved to remove extraneous overlapping signals, provide accurate extent of digestion, and correct errors caused by varying concentrations. These improved preparation methods enabled measurement of crystallinity index values of residual cellulose which did not show a correlation between cellulose crystallinity and the decline in cellulase activity.
