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
Jerusalem artichoke ( Helianthus tuberosus L.) is a potential biofuel feedstock crop in China. To conduct a comprehensive evaluation of energy use efficiency and economic perspectives for this crop, face-to-face surveys were collected from farmers in Gansu and Shandong provinces. The results demonstrated highest energy use efficiency (2.47 in Gansu and 2.37 in Shandong), net energy (59,926 MJ/ha in Gansu and 55,298 MJ/ha in Shandong) and energy productivity (0.77 kg/MJ in Gansu and 0.74 kg/MJ in Shandong) for Jerusalem artichoke plantation size ranging from 4.0–20.0 ha in Gansu and for plantation sizes >35.0 ha in Shandong. Moreover, the lowest total production costs, namely, 9913 CNY/ha and 12,264 CNY/ha, were incurred by plantation size of 20.1–35.0 ha in size in both Gansu and Shandong, respectively. In addition, the highest benefit/cost ratio and economic productivity values were observed for plantation size of 4.0–20.0 ha in Gansu (2.60 and 2.89 kg/CNY, respectively) and >35.0 ha in Shandong (1.96 and 2.17 kg/CNY, respectively). Consequently, plantation size of <35.0 ha in Gansu and >35.0 ha in Shandong are recommended for Jerusalem artichoke production with the use of mechanization in conjunction with the use of Jerusalem artichoke straw for bioenergy production. Therefore, Jerusalem artichoke may make a large contribution in meeting the growing future challenges for bioenergy production for an expanding population.
