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.

Book Chapter Description
There are considerable differences in male fertility in wildlife, domestic species and humans. A variety of factors may influence fertility in males, including genetic abnormalities, diseases or environmental agents and, for humans, also occupational hazards and lifestyle. Male fertility is declining over time, perhaps due to exposure to environmental chemicals. One important component in the evaluation of male fertility is semen analysis. Many laboratory tests have been developed to examine semen traits in an attempt to assess and, perhaps, predict fertility. Some basic parameters (sperm numbers, concentration and motility) are useful but are not sufficient to evaluate the complexity of sperm performance. Additional parameters related to the many sperm functions required for fertilization are currently being incorporated into a more thorough assessment of determinants of male fertility.
