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
Rising energy and CO2 prices are driving industrial companies to focus increasingly on energy efficiency and flexibility to remain competitive. Besides technical improvements, smart energy services like nonintrusive load monitoring (NILM) are promising approaches to increasing a company’s energy efficiency and flexibility potential. Despite its advantages, smart energy services are not yet widely used in practice, and service providers are cautious. Existing research investigates almost exclusively technical aspects of smart energy service applications and systems, particularly for NILM, while a business model perspective is missing. This study addresses this research gap following a design science research approach with literature research and expert interviews, and develops a business model framework—the Smart Energy Service Canvas (SESC). The SESC is a practical and empirically validated tool to formalize, structure, and implement a business idea on smart energy services.
