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.

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to analyze the information from Tarikh-i-Rashidi regarding the history of the Golden Horde. The main material of the study was the complete translation of Tarikh-i-Rashidi, carried out in the 1990s and revised in the 2010s. Five theses are proposed: the nomadic population of the Golden Horde; the number of nomads who migrated with Muhammad Sheibani; the identity of the Mogul Dughlat and Kazakh Dulat tribes; the fate of Juchid Buruj-Oglan, killed between 1472-1473, and the Kazakh population. According to Tarikh-i-Rashidi, the number of Kazakhs reached one million people, but at some point, they completely disappeared from the face of the earth. But as the geopolitical situation changed, the Kazakhs returned to the historical arena. There was no physical disappearance of Kazakhs in the sixteenth century.
