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 aim of this study was to evaluate the Ecological Footprint of Energy and Waste generation in Ijebu Ode, and the study adopted descriptive cross-sectional design and data were collected from 400 systemically sampled households through structured questionnaires and analysed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The findings revealed that water has the highest ecological footprint (EF) of 86.5%, followed by energy with 6.7%, while EF of food and waste had footprint of 4.8% and 1.9%, respectively, and with an average EF of 0.3gha/capita, it will require 0.2 Earths, should everyone in the world were to consume like Ijebu Ode.
