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
The world’s e-waste generation is increasing at a rate of 3%–5% per year. The global e-waste crisis necessitates the development and implementation of appropriate policies and laws to ensure its long-term management. India is not devoting enough attention to e-waste management, and the procedure still has many loopholes due to a lack of infrastructure, strict legislation, public commitment, and socioeconomic conditions. Several developed countries dump their e-waste in developing countries, including India, necessitating our immediate attention. This chapter will focus on India's current policy and legal initiatives regarding e-waste and how they can be improved for greater impact. Life-cycle assessment of electrical and electronic products, including forward and reverse logistics, would also be discussed. Nonetheless, one of the potential barriers to e-waste management is our over-reliance on legislation without taking into account the issues associated with the political, socioeconomic, and cultural systems. A customized roadmap would be proposed to address the e-waste issue in a sustainable manner while also ensuring occupational and health safety. This chapter will conclude that e-waste should be viewed as a potential opportunity for a sustainable green growth strategy rather than a problem to be solved.
