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.

Image Description
This is our microscopic image of rodent lung tissue showing pulmonary fibrosis due to long-term exposure to naturally occurring asbestos (NOA) found in Boulder City, Southern Nevada. NOA is an environmental pollutant that through multiple means of deterioration, such as construction and mining can become airborne fibers. When asbestos fibers are inhaled, it can accumulate over time in the lung tissue, cause cellular damage, inflammation, and pulmonary fibrosis. We believe that the presence of pulmonary fibrosis in animals collected around Boulder City suggests that people living in the same area could be experiencing ongoing exposure to asbestos fibers and negative health-effects.
