Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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
In this study, natural radioactivity levels of Ra, Th, and K, as well as the related harmful radiological features, were determined for various wheat flour samples using HPGe gamma-ray spectrometry.The average activity concentrations of Ra, Th, and K in wheat flour are found to be (0.26 ± 0.07),(1.54 ± 0.43), and (59.79 ± 3.65) Bq kg, respectively. Furthermore, the corresponding radiological parameters, internal index (H), annual effective dose (E) (sum), and lifetime cancer risk were found to be below the permissible world average values. In conclusion, the risk of absorbing natural radionuclides from wheat flour consumption is negligible.
