## How is the package-rank score calculated?

The exact algorithm is a work-in-progress and will change.
Right now it is a combination of:
At the time of writing it includes:

- Number of dependents (that is to say, recursive reverse dependencies);
- Number of Github stars;
- Number of stars on Github;
- Number of unique contributors;
- Commit activity over the last year.
- Commit activity over the last year;
- Downloads per month from CRAN or Bioconductor mirrors;
- Number of files on GitHub that mention ’library(pkgname)'.

The score is a weighted sum of the above, on a log scale. But we plan to improve the algorithm as the project gets more mature, and better data becomes available.
You can browse [scores and metrics for all packages](https://r-universe.dev/packages).

We plan to keep updating the algorithm as R-universe matures and better data becomes available.
