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
GC-MS/FID analysis of the essential oils of 10 Thymus species, belonging to Sect. Serpyllum, led to identification of 118 compounds accounting for 97.79–99.69% of the total oil. Thymus moesiacus, T. jankae, T. vandasii, T. longicaulis and T. sibthorpii were characterized by the presence of linalool (19.37–35.21%) as the major or dominant component, but differed significantly in the content of the other prominent components: linalyl acetate, geraniol, geranyl acetate, α-terpinyl acetate, myrcen-8-yl acetate, myrcen-8-ol, etc. α-Terpinyl acetate (66.79%), thymol (63.96%), carvacrol (42.65%) and germacrene D (42.15%) were the principal components of T. pulegioides, T. glabrescens, T. callieri and T. pannonicus, respectively. β-Myrcene (16.53%), cis-sabinene hydrate (13.58%), τ-cadinol (13.24%) and elemol (11.29%) determined the oil from T. thracicus as a mixed mono-/sesquiterpene chemotype. The obtained results revealed the existence of new chemotypes of T. moesiacus, T. thracicus, T. sibthorpii and T. longicaulis. The essential oil content of T. callieri and endemic T. vandasii is reported for the first time. The variations in the essential oils of different Thymus species from Sect. Serpyllum were examined by principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA).
