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
Pectin is a natural biopolymer with excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility that is often extracted from the peels of citrus fruits and apples. Pectin isolated from Citrus limon (L.) Burm peels is the primary nanofiber material in this investigation. Pectin: polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) ratio, solvent type, voltage, and flow rate were investigated to optimise the electrospinning procedure for producing pectin-based nanofibers. The peels of C. limon (L.) Burm were chemically extracted for their pectin, yielding a 20.5% yield, and subsequently electrospun with varying percentages of PVA. Sample 1, made from 10% pectin and 10% PVA, formed a mat with the best mechanical qualities out of the four samples. Despite being mixed with PVA, The Nanofiber’s Fourier transform infrared spectrum reveals that pectin retained its original chemical structure. Amorphous characteristics of the mat are shown in the X-ray diffractogram. Therapeutic pectin and PVA nanofibers could be made using PVA since they are cheap, biodegradable, and biocompatible.
