Author Ranking
Visibility, selection value, freshness and participation are explained in Score Information.
Score Information
EPI means Editorial Prestige Index: a proprietary ARTFreeLife score that combines editorial placement, section value, position, freshness, selected works and author activity within a reduced dynamic range.
This ranking uses a reduced time range and is designed as a dynamic editorial index, not as a complete historical archive.
ART Gallery Featured is used as an additional editorial signal. If a Featured photograph is already present in the ART Gallery feed, it receives only a small recognition bonus. If it is not present in the ART Gallery feed, it is counted as a high-value editorial selection.
The first 5 Latest Publications and the first 5 Featured Photos receive an additional momentum bonus to reflect current activity and editorial visibility.
Featured visibility may also be influenced by the author’s profile score and participation in ARTFreeLife activities. This part of the evaluation is managed by the ARTFreeLife AI Agent.
