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
Chemical analytical methods for metal analysis in soils are laborious, time-consuming and costly. This paper aims to evaluate the potential of short-range (SR) and full-range (FR) visible and infrared spectroscopy (vis-NIR) combined with linear and nonlinear calibration methods to estimate concentrations of nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) in soils. A total of 435 soil samples were collected over agricultural sites, forest (7 %), pasture (5 %) and fallow land across a region in the northern part of Belgium. Generally, better predictions were obtained when using partial least squares regression (PLSR) and nonlinear calibration method [i.e., random forest (RF)] for processing of the spectral data, than when using support vector machine (SVM). FR generally outperformed SR and provided the best prediction results for Ni (R 2 p = 0.76), Co (R 2 p = 0.77), Cd (R 2 p = 0.64) and Pb (R 2 p = 0.65), when using PLSR and RF. SVM produced the best prediction result only for Pb (R 2 p = 0.57) using the SR spectra. The metals Ni, Co, Cd and Pb can be predicted successfully (good accuracy) from the FR vis-NIR spectra using PLSR for Co, and RF for Ni, Cd, Pb and Cu. Compared to the FR spectrophotometer, improvement in accuracy was obtained for Cd and Co, using the SR spectra when combined with PLSR and RF, respectively. It is concluded that the SR spectrometer can be used successfully for the prediction of Co with RF (R 2 p = 0.70), while it best predicted Cd with PLSR with an R 2 p value of 0.67, which is of value for regional survey.
