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

Baburnama is not merely a memoir recording political and military events within Turkish-Islamic historiography; it is a unique work that distinguishes itself from the classical chronicle tradition with its detailed descriptive language, subject-centered narrative, and psychological depth. This study aims to examine the descriptive language used in Baburnama and to reveal the function of description within historical narrative. The work, analyzed using qualitative text analysis, has been examined in the context of geographical, social, and psychological descriptions. As a result of the examination, it has been concluded that Babur's descriptive language integrates historical facts with subjective experience, moving beyond objective record; in this respect, Baburnama constitutes an important example of early autobiographical historical narrative
