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
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) quantification is performed routinely for all breast cancer patients to determine their suitability for HER2-targeted therapy. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) are the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved tests for HER2 quantification in which at least 20 cancer-affected singular nuclei are quantified for HER2 grading. CISH is more advantageous than FISH for cost, time and practical usability. In clinical practice, nuclei suitable for HER2 quantification are selected manually by pathologists which is time-consuming and laborious. Previously, a method was proposed for automatic HER2 quantification using a support vector machine (SVM) to detect suitable singular nuclei from CISH slides. However, the SVM-based method occasionally failed to detect singular nuclei resulting in inaccurate results. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a robust nuclei detection method for reliable automatic HER2 quantification. In this paper, we propose a robust U-net-based singular nuclei detection method with complementary color correction and deconvolution adapted for accurate HER2 grading using CISH whole slide images (WSIs). The efficacy of the proposed method was demonstrated for automatic HER2 quantification during a comparison with the SVM-based approach.
