How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Additionally, the lack of comprehensive studies in modern legal literature regarding the essence of digital paid assistance in the field of legal activity underscores the need for research in this area.

Due to these methods, it became possible to determine the essence of digital paid services in the field of legal activity, to reveal their features, as well as identify their problems and develop ways to improve such services. [Findings] During the course of this study, several significant results were obtained. Firstly, the concept of digital paid legal services was elucidated, and the main types of such services were identified, along with their distinctive characteristics. Furthermore, the study highlighted both the positive and negative aspects of providing these services, emphasizing their significance in the development of legal science and the legal profession as a whole. [Originality/Value] The study is significant as it addresses the need for an effective legal framework to regulate digital services in the field of legal activity in Kazakhstan.
