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
CR-39 is a solid nuclear track detector that is commonly used for long-term passive radon monitoring. For a specific incident particle, etching condition and type of CR-39, the morphology of the nuclear tracks in CR-39 varies with the energy and angle of incident particles. This study systematically compares the performance of six different passive radon monitors from the perspective of nuclear track morphology using both theoretical calculations and experiments. Based on different shapes of exposure chambers for these monitors, different strategies for dealing with incident α particles can be observed, especially for those emitted from deposited progeny on the inner wall. These characteristics contribute to the strengths and weaknesses of each monitor in terms of efficiency, uncertainty, robustness in measurement, and consistency of track morphology. The results of this study revealed that the optimisation of the radon monitor should be multidirectional and situation-oriented. It was expected to be helpful to improve radon measurement using these monitors.
