BS Rank compares a final BS Score against the rest of the same peer group.

• BS Rank compares that final BS Score against the rest of the same peer group by sorting scores from highest to lowest and applying ((total - rank) / (total - 1)) * 100.
• The peer group depends on what is being ranked: articles are compared against articles, videos against videos, authors against authors, publications against publications, and so on.
• Higher BS Rank means the item is more manipulative relative to more of its peers; lower BS Rank means it is less manipulative relative to more of its peers.

That final article score is what gets ranked. For this example, the article’s stored rank was 2,438 out of 3,183 ranked articles, so its BS Rank was ((3,183 - 2,438) / (3,183 - 1)) * 100 = 23.4%.

Rankings give you an immediate sense of how an author or publication compares to other authors and publications. But you can see every bit of data that lead to the BS Score and BS Rank by viewing the detailed analysis of each item.
