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 cement industry accounts for nearly 7% of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions globally and is facing tremendous pressure to reduce the emission intensity. Supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) are a quick and effective lever to lower CO 2 emissions. The cement hydration process is a sensitive mechanism and is greatly influenced by many factors such as hydration environment, type of SCM, and the amount used in the cement, which affect the cement's physical and mechanical performance. The SCM adversely impacts cement performance, especially prolonged setting and slow initial compressive strength development, compared to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The importance of nanomaterials has been known for decades; their usage in cementitious materials is now accelerated as they can play an essential role by offsetting the adverse effects of the high usage of SCMs in cement. They help in reducing the intensity of CO 2 and offer value-added features. A lab experiment is carried out to understand the role of nano SiO 2 at different dosages on the Portland slag cement (PSC) hydration by studying heat evolution profiles, compressive strengths, TG-DTA, XRD, and SEM images. Results have revealed that 1% nano SiO 2 accelerates early settings time and compressive strength compared to OPC. It will promote slag-based blended cement (PSC) and replace ordinary Portland cement in the construction industry to reduce the CO 2 footprint of the cement and construction industry. A model of NS's role during PSC hydration is also given.
