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

This paper addresses the problem of synthesizing four-link initial kinematic chains with rotational pairs for designing flat lever mechanisms with specified motion laws of the input and output links.The proposed method formulates the synthesis problem as an optimization process involving three moving planes ๐‘„, ๐‘„1 and ๐‘„2.Each plane performs distinct motions: ๐‘„ is fixed, ๐‘„1 rotates around a
