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 effect of oxidation on carbonization and physical activation of pitch was determined for synthesis of activated carbon (AC). The prepared AC from non-oxidized pitch exhibited a low specific surface area of 0.2 m 2 /g. On the other hand, the specific surface area of prepared AC from the oxidized pitch increased up to 729.6 m 2 /g even by same activation process. The introduced oxygen functional groups were almost removed during carbonization (with only 3.1% or less oxygen remaining); therefore, they did not directly affect the activation process. However, introduced oxygen functional groups prevented the rearrangement of the pitch molecules during carbonization. This effect decreased the crystallinity of the carbonized pitch and increased the number of defects present. The defects acted as active sites and improved the pore structure; thus, AC with a high specific surface area was prepared.
