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
Introduction: Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation can cause damage to the skin's dermis layer, which can lead to collagen fragmentation. Damage to collagen generates wrinkles, which are a sign of aging. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine how Siam Weeds cream (Chromolaena odorata L.) altered the thickness and density of collagen in the skin of BALB/c mice after UVB exposure. Methods: There were four groups of 24 BALB/c mice altogether: normal control, negative control (Cream Base with UVB), positive control (UVB), and treatment (C. odorata cream and UVB). Just before and after the mice were exposed to UVB at 500 mJ/cm, the Siam Weeds cream formulation was applied at a concentration of 1%. Mice were slaughtered, and a back skin excisional biopsy was conducted to analyze collagen. Results: the treatment group differed significantly both in thickness and density of collagen against the positive control group and the negative control group (p<0.05) and There was no statistically significant difference between the treatment and normal control groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: A 1% dosage of C. odorata cream can improve the thickness and density of collagen in UVB-exposed mice's skin.
