In this paper we examine the ranking of objects whose relative merits are given by a directed graph.We consider several measures and show their rationality through axiomatization as well as showing the relationship with the Shapley value of games whose characteristic function is derived from the directed graph. We also give some numerical examples and report the experience of the application to the best paper selection problem.
