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
The nuclear power station, which ESCOM proposes to build on the coast near Cape Town, will be cooled by sea water and will cause the temperature of the water in the immediate vicinity of its outfall to be increased by about 6°C. Experiments were conducted in an attempt to predict the biological effects of the increased temperature. Particular attention was paid to those organisms, such as kelp and mussels, which dominate the local kelp-bed ecosystem and to those such as the rock lobster which are of particular commercial importance. The effects of increased temperature on such parameters as growth rate, fecundity and spawning period were examined, and it was concluded that in many cases the higher temperature would be detrimental. Some of the possible over-all effects on the entire kelp-bed ecosystem are discussed. © 1978 Taylor & Francis Ltd.
