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.

Conference Paper Description
Polylactid acid (PLA) is a type of bio-based and bio-degradable plastic. This substance is commonly used in the medical field since it is biocompatible and does not hurt bodily tissues. In this study, PLA plastic will be combined with chitosan (CS) via injection molding. The addition of CS to compensate for the absence of PLA with hydrophobic characteristics. CS has hydrophilic characteristics, which allow it to absorb water and bond with biological tissues. The contact angle test revealed that pure PLA is a hydrophobic material, but the PLA: CS alloy is a hydrophilic alloy.
