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
Theobroma cacao, is a tropical understorey tree that is a major economic resource to several tropical countries. However, the crop is under increased threat from several diseases that are responsible for 30% loss of harvest globally. Although QTL data related to the genetic determinism of disease resistance exist in cocoa, QTL mapping experiments are heterogeneous, thus making comparative QTL mapping essential for marker assisted selection (MAS). Sixteen QTL experiments were analysed, and the 76 QTLs detected were projected on a progressively established consensus map. Several hot spots, with QTLs related to different Phytophthora species and other diseases, were observed. The likely number of "real" QTLs was estimated by using a meta-analysis implemented in BioMercator software. There was a twofold reduction in average confidence interval observed when compared to the confidence interval of individual QTLs. This alternative approach confirms the existence of several sources of resistance to different diseases of cocoa which could be cumulated in new varieties to increase the sustainability of cocoa resistance using MAS strategies. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009.
