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.

Conference Paper Description
All the market boundary for a fertilizer plant is function of natural-gas prices (henry-hub), demand of nitrogen based fertilizer at county level, and transportation cost by mode (rail, truck and barge). The demand for nitrogenous fertilizers is largely driven by agriculture, wherein, the composition and pattern of crops varies widely with time and region. Variation and uncertainty in natural-gas prices and transportation cost results in pulsating market boundaries, the area that is served by a fertilizer plant. A combined approach of statistical analysis and geographic information systems (GIS) is used to build a spatial equilibrium model representing structure of supply chain network for United States comprising origins (fertilizer plant, point of imports), destinations (counties), and various mode of transportation (truck, rail and barge). Such approach helps in (a)visualizing the market boundaries, (b) structure of supply chain network of nitrogen based fertilizers, (c)analysis of potential impacts due changes in natural-gas prices.
