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 citrus leafminer (CLM), Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton, is one of the most serious pests of Iran's citrus nursery stocks. In this study, the effects of gamma radiation at doses of 100–450 Gy on the biological and reproductive parameters of P. citrella were determined. The results showed that the mean percentage of pupal mortality increases with a rise in the dose. Also, the mean values of this parameter were higher for irradiated females, indicating higher sensitivity. The mean fertility of the irradiated females mated with normal males was affected drastically and reached zero at 300 Gy. The hatchability of the eggs laid by normal females mated with irradiated males dropped to 2% at the highest irradiation dose of 450 Gy. The results of this test showed that females have a higher radio-sensitivity than males. The competitiveness values fluctuated from 0.2 to 0.6 at doses higher than 200 Gy. The results showed that the male CLMs irradiated with sterilizing doses could compete suitably with the untreated males in laboratory conditions.
