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.

Review Description
Aconitum heterophyllum, a medicinal herb commonly used in Ayurveda, which belongs to the Ranunculaceae family and is known to have a number of therapeutic properties. Root tubers of this plant are commonly used in pediatric medicine for fever management. It has also been used as an antipyretic, antibacterial, anthelmintic, antitussive, anti-inflammatory, and antidiarrheal agent. The root tubers are rich sources of diterpene alkaloids, which may be one of the reasons for the medicinal properties. Required data on this plant were obtained from electronic sources (Google scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science), several classical textbooks on Ayurveda, and ethnopharmacology. This review article covers all the relevant information on its pharmacological and phytochemical aspects. In this study, we have critically reviewed recent advancements of Aconitum heterophyllum in order to validate its usage as a multipurpose therapeutic agent.
