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
This study presents an approach to the determination of nutrient sensitive areas (SA) based on National Urban Wastewater Treatment Regulation harmonized under the Water Framework Directive (WFD). A three-stage approach that covers designation of potential sensitive areas (PSA) which are under the risk of eutrophication, physicochemical and biological monitoring at PSA, and application of the suitable biotic indices is used for the determination of sensitive areas. PSA are identified as a result of either available monitoring data or if this is not available according to indexing method which developed in this study based on pressure and impact analysis. The Gediz River Basin, one of the most polluted basins in Turkiye, is chosen as a pilot area. According to the results of the study, 40% of the total drainage area of the basin was designated as sensitive area.
