What 50 means
Top 0.1% of the web graph. Established brands and large publishers: only about 100,000 domains score this high.
Whether that is good depends on the sites you compete with. What counts as a good score · Compare with a competitor
What drives this score
OAR 50 adds up two positions in the cc-main-2026-aug-sep-oct link graph: harmonic centrality, worth up to 70 points, and PageRank, worth up to 30.
- Harmonic centrality rank #9,78635.6 of 70 points
- PageRank rank #18,74114.2 of 30 points
PageRank is the weaker signal here. It rises with the number and weight of links pointing at publons.com, but it carries only 30% of the score, so harmonic centrality still moves OAR more.
Rank needed for a higher score

| 60 | #746 or better | #46 or better |
Ranks are relative to each release, so a score can also move because the web around publons.com changed. OAR describes position in the public link graph; it does not predict search rankings or traffic. How OAR is computed
