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
The current study aimed at the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using water extracts obtained from two different seaweed species Halymenia venusta and Hypnea pannosa. Zinc acetate dehydrate was used as a precursor material in this study. Various characterization techniques were employed to (1) confirm the formation of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and (2) evaluate the morphological properties of the synthesized ZnO NPs such as size and shape. The scanning electron microscopy images of cube-shaped and flake-shaped were obtained for H. pannosa–mediated and H. venusta–mediated ZnO NPs, respectively. The size of the nanoparticles was measured to be 200 nm for Hy. pannosa–mediated ZnO NPs and 200–300 nm for H. venusta–mediated ZnO NPs. Furthermore, these green synthesized ZnO NPs demonstrated strong antibacterial activity against bacterial strains.
