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
To improve the inspection efficiency of free-form surfaces using coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), this paper proposes a free-form CMM inspection path optimization method based on an improved ant colony optimisation algorithm. The inspection path composition and its mathematical model are first analysed, and then the improved ant colony optimisation algorithm is applied to minimize the objective function. To address the problem that the ant colony optimisation algorithm has difficulty jumping out of local optimal solutions, this paper introduces a negative feedback mechanism in the pheromone update rule to improve the probability of the ant colony optimisation algorithm jumping out of the local optimal solution, so as to obtain the global optimal solution with a higher probability. Experiments showed that the inspection path length optimised by the improved ant colony optimisation algorithm was at least 5.2% and 8.6% shorter than those of the traditional ant colony optimisation and simulated annealing algorithms, respectively.
