Yep, it's somewhere in their methodology. Certain sites are valued higher than others.
Edit: Here's the paragraph on it:
Why the term “weighted average” matters
Metascore is a weighted average in that we assign more importance, or weight, to some critics and publications than others, based on their quality and overall stature. In addition, for music and movies, we also normalize the resulting scores (akin to "grading on a curve" in college), which prevents scores from clumping together.
Signature goes here!
