摘要: A comprehensive methodology has been created to quantify the degree of criticality metals periodic table. In this paper, we present and discuss methodology, which is comprised three dimensions: supply risk, environmental implications, vulnerability restriction. Supply risk differs with time scale (medium or long), at its more complex involves several components, themselves composed a number distinct indicators drawn from readily available peer-reviewed indexes public information. Vulnerability restriction organizational level (i.e., global, national, corporate). The an enhancement United States National Research Council template, designed help corporate, global stakeholders conduct evaluation inform resource utilization strategic decision-making. Although believe our methodological choices lead most robust results, framework constructe...
