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
As a predominantly agricultural state, Assam's economy heavily relies on agriculture. Paddy cultivation is one major crop produced in Assam and Brahmaputra Valley in particular. The region's unique agroecological conditions and the prevalence of tenant farming methods have been considered, along with a comprehensive understanding of resource utilisation and productivity status. The Cobb Douglas production function has been applied to determine resource use efficiency. The information of sample data for the present research study has been gathered from a total of 225 tenant farmers, considering the tenant farmer's availability in the villages concerned. Analysis has been conducted on the efficiency of resources, such as seeds, fertilisers, machine use, plant protection and human labour. It is observed from the findings that, except for human labour and machine use, the input resources such as seed, fertilisers and plant protection were being under-used by tenant farmers for paddy cultivation.
