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

Cultural heritage motifs play an important role in fashion tourism on a global scale. Presently, historical eras serve as continuous sources of inspiration for fashion designers and contribute to the flourishing domain of creative tourism. The generation of authentic fashion items, rooted in cultural heritage motifs, holds the potential for sustainable economic and cultural impact within tourist destinations. These products, indirectly exported through sales to tourists, play a significant role in fostering economic growth. The Persian cultural heritage, notably rich in diverse aspects, encompasses clothing and personal adornment items that inherently form a distinct fashion genre. Persian tourist destinations are actively engaging in this economic pursuit by introducing a broader array of fashion items inspired by their cultural heritage to the tourist market. This study, substantiated by comprehensive fieldwork and supported by photographic data, delineates the intersection of cultural heritage, fashion, and tourism. It illustrates how the availability of these fashion items serves the dual purpose of showcasing Persian cultural heritage and enhancing tourist expenditure. The means of accomplishment include not only the promotion of these items through selfie tourism on social networking platforms but also their integration into offline daily life through actual wear.
