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
Mango and Banana need to be ripened artificially when they are harvested before ripening process starts on the tree or plant. This need arises due to the large distances fruits need to be travelled before reaching the consumer points. If fruits are riped naturally on trees, the journey of fruits in the soft stage leads to damage of fruits before it reaches the consumer. A banned chemical powder of calcium carbide is being used by traders in the fruit and vegetable markets due to lack of knowledge and unavailability of safe ripening technologies. This paper discussed the safe ripening practices for mango and banana fruits along with the technical design and commercial aspects of refrigeration systems, ripening systems, control systems, PUF panel insulation structure for a ripening chamber facility. Use of ethylene gas is recommended by scientists for the safe ripening of mango and banana. Technical specifications for all these systems are prepared and presented in this paper for use by industries.
