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
This manuscript focuses on the eco-friendly synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) using Centratherum punctatum leaf extract. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of functional groups, while UV–vis spectral analysis exhibited absorbance peak at 224 nm. XRD analysis provided insights into the particle's crystallinity, revealing, crystal size in the range of 20–30 nm. SEM examination revealed the presence of spherical and hemispherical aggregated particles. The CuO NPs demonstrated potent antimicrobial activity and effectively inhibited biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The environmentally friendly synthesis and promising antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of CuO NPs make them noteworthy candidates for further exploration.
