Data confidence 70 medium
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

The article is about the application of k-means in the perception of supervisors from the students’ side. The student-supervisor relationship is an important factor in whether or not a graduate program will be successful. Unfortunately, the student-supervisor relations do not always end up with students having a profitable experience and effectively finishing the academic work. Based on a survey taken from students and supervisors, their perceptions of student-supervisor relationships were clustered using the k-means clustering approach. As a result, the conclusion which states that student-supervisor relationships are equal and should be discussed before starting the collaborative academic work was made.
