- Metric
- Verse-level uses: every citation adds one for each verse it covers, under the counting rule. A citation of three verses adds 3. (definition)
- Counting rule
- Every covered verse (baseline) The baseline rule: every mention of every verse counts; a chapter or a range counts once for each verse it covers, and an unknown repetition counts as one. (definition) – uses; references to a whole chapter count for each of its verses
Named verses only Like the baseline rule, but only references that name verses count; whole chapters and books are left out. The Top 100 verses use it, so a chapter reference does not lift every verse of the chapter. (definition) – uses naming the verse (owner decision P5); the basis of the Top 100 and of the rank - Profile
