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 oil of Thevetia peruviana with some level of free fatty acid can be reduced in a one-step pretreatment by esterification using H2 treated oil of Thevetia peruviana was then subjected to alkali-catalyzed transesterification, which gave a yield of Thevetia peruviana biodiesel with ester content of 98.20 0.20%. This one-step pretreatment reduced the problem of soap formation normally encountered when using oil with free fatty acid for the production of biodiesel, thus reducing the production cost of Thevetia peruviana biodiesel. Fuel properties of the methyl esters of Thevetia peruviana compared favorably with the European recommendation (EN 14214). Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
