What the numbers mean, and how they are earned

Every figure is calculated from work a publisher accepted. None of it can be typed in by the contributor, edited by us, or bought. Full method →

Using the directory

Glossary of terms →
Who is this directory for?Publishers looking for a specialist, and anyone checking a name.

Editors use it to find and invite experts for their pages. Readers use it to check who stands behind a page they saw a name on.

How is the list ordered?By accepted work in the topic you choose.

Ranking weighs accepted contributions, corrections, how consistently they work in that topic, publisher feedback, verification and how recent their work is. Ranking is earned.

Why is someone with fewer contributions ranked higher?Consistency and trust count alongside volume.

Twenty accepted reviews in one topic outweigh fifty scattered contributions with a low acceptance rate.

Can I contact a contributor?Yes, through an invitation.
