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
Thermoelectric generators have been of great interest in recent years; however, these studies have focused on maximum power output and maximum efficiency modes of operation. In this work, an analysis is presented under different modes of operation studied within finite-time thermodynamics (FTT), so it is possible to describe in a broader way the energetic of this type of thermoelectric converters. This analysis will be approached from the point of view of a recent work by Gonzalez-Hernandez (2020), based on a set of dimensionless variables. Obtaining a unification criterion for the study of thermoelectric refrigerator and heaters through the figure of merit y and the optimization of a single dimensionless parameter x from the point of view of the FTT. In this case, the figure of merit limits the maximum value of the modes of operation to an optimal range. Among other results, it should be noted that some materials will not reach the maximum efficiency of 2/3, regardless of the value of the figure of merit.
