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 consumption of vegetarian/vegan products that mimic the taste and appearance of animal products has grown worldwide. The objective of this study was to investigate the designations of these products in the Brazilian market, focusing on terms that may mislead consumers. The designations were evaluated concerning four aspects: i) use of the terms “vegan," "vegetarian," or similar ones; ii) misuse of standardized animal product designations; iii) misspelling of standardized animal product designations; iv) use of the terms “type” or “flavor” associated with the name of the animal products. There were 335 samples analyzed, 93 from supermarkets and 242 from websites, corresponding to three categories of analogs: meat (n = 154), dairy (n = 148), and others (n = 33). The terms “vegan” and “vegetarian” were used in 44.5% of the samples. It was concluded that most products had the wrong designations, reinforcing the need for regulation of such products in Brazil.
