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
Warfare agents are an enormous safety concern to humans. Alternatives to animal testing, particularly in chemical warfare testing, have been well recognized. The concept of 3Rs (replacement, reduction, and refinement) has been practiced and its goals have been achieved, where applicable. One key consideration in the application of such methodologies is the validation and reproducible quality of data. In the counterterrorism measures, the “Animal Rule” has been developed and implemented to meet the urgent need due to terrorist attacks. In this chapter, a list of chemical warfare agents, validated alternative methods, the role of 3Rs in countering warfare agents, and advancements in instrumentation and concepts such as “human-on-a-chip” are briefly described. Further, the collaborative effort to advance such an effort by all stakeholders including governmental bodies is mentioned.
