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
A critical review of the Engel-Brewer theory of metallic bonding is presented with an emphasis on its inapplicability to transition metals. Taking recourse to pseudopotential arguments for nontransition metals and to tight binding model for d-transition metals, the cohesive and crystal structure trends among metals across the periodic table is briefly discussed. It is clear that a direct inclusion of d-electron counts is absolutely necessary to correlate meaningfully the observed structural trend with the valence electron configuration. In view of this limitation, the classical Brewer's scheme is revised in such a manner that some of the anomalies encountered in the case of transition metals are removed. A discussion of the philosophical basis of Brewer's model is presented.
