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
Sanitary cleanness of water is one of the most important components of contemporary water management. However, many potentially hazardous microorganisms are often found in water. These include bacteria such as Escherichia coli and enterococci (former streptococci). Both enterococci and many intestinal bacteria can lead to several diseases which are hazardous to humans and animals. These microorganisms are a leading cause of infections in the gastrointestinal tract, with its symptoms including diarrhoea, fevers, intestinal and digestive problems. However, in certain cases of the above infections, tissues which are important to the function of human body can be affected (e.g., joints, lungs, soft tissues, kidneys, endocardium, etc.). These bacteria, especially if drug-resistant, can lead to sepsis (especially in people with weak immunological system), which is potentially hazardous to human life. For this reason, both intestinal bacteria and enterococci should be eliminated through a water treatment step in municipal wastewater treatment plants. The material was sampled from a medium-sized wastewater treatment plant in the southern part of Poland. The plant uses a biological wastewater treatment process based on activated sludge. After pure water is separated from sewage sludge in this process, it is transferred to the water receiver (river). The examinations revealed the presence of indicator bacteria, that is, intestinal bacteria and enterococci in the analysed water samples following the treatment process.
