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
The effect of salinity (20, 25, and 30 psu) on regeneration of two arms of adult starfish Luidia clathrata (n = 8 per salinity treatment group collected from Pensacola Bay, Florida, USA 30° 20′ N, 87° 13′ W) was examined in a laboratory experiment (November 2009 to March 2010) to test the hypothesis that L. clathrata is adapted to euryhaline conditions found in bays with regards to arm regeneration. Regenerating arm condition (lengths and weights) relative to treatment was 20-psu treatment & 25-psu treatment & 30-psu treatment, and non-regenerating arm condition was 20-psu treatment & 25-psu treatment = 30-psu treatment. Luidia clathrata is not adapted to lower salinity conditions found in bays with regard to arm regeneration, despite the common occurrence of the species in bays. Lower salinity in bays should reduce the ability of L. clathrata to recover from damage sustained during, or just prior to, low-salinity periods. © 2011 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
