Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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 most important intermediate of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), the most widely and quantitatively produced isocyanate in the world, is methylenedianiline (MDA). MDA is industrially produced from the reaction of aniline and formaldehyde catalysed by inorganic acids, most commonly HCl. The reaction parameters used during the synthesis of MDA have a fundamental impact on the quality parameters of the resulting MDA product mixture, and thus on the properties of the final MDI product mixture as well. Although MDA is an important industrial intermediate, currently its synthesis at the industrial level is based on empirical rules, knowledge and rule of thumbs, the effects of production parameters and their magnitude on product properties are not known and not published in the literature. In this study, the correlations between the independent operating parameters and dependent product quality parameters characterizing the MDA mixture were explored by developing different regression models with the use of experimental laboratory synthesis data in order to support the industrial synthesis process with easily deployable models with satisfactorily high accuracy. After investigating the laboratory experiment data from a total of 46 individual laboratory experiments, it was found that with machine learning models almost all of the independent parameters can be described with satisfactory accuracy. The models presented in this work demonstrate that it is possible to develop models that can be used to adjust the ring distribution, isomer ratios and selectivity of the reaction with minimising by-product quantities according to market demands or to different objective functions by fine-tuning the production parameters., thus achieving an optimal product portfolio and operating cost for the industrial process as well.
