The "absolute score" is the result you get if you remove the part between
"***".

The idea is that the computation described gives you a number that is
representative of the author's popularity, but is meaningless unless given a
scale. By dividing each author's absolute score by the highest absolute score
achieved in the whole system gives you an idea of how popular an author is
compared with other popular authors.
