Why it ranks here
Health score explained
InvenioRDM scores 54/100, #4 of 6 in Document Management - Institutional Repository and Digital Library Software: 45 commits in the last 90 days earn 35.0 of 35 points, the absence of a tagged release forfeits all 25 release points, 185 stars add 9.1 of 20, an active, unarchived repository keeps 10 and no advertised Docker image leaves the final 10 unclaimed. That places it in the slowing band (40 to 69). The biggest shortfall is release recency, worth 25.0 more points.
