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 study examines how political conflict drives internal displacement and international migration, drawing on cases across the Middle East, Africa, South America, and Asia, with particular attention to Kazakhstan, to identify patterns shaping forced migration. Findings show that political conflicts are a significant driver of migration, especially to neighboring countries. Key triggers include the destruction of infrastructure, deteriorating economic conditions, and increased social instability. The study emphasizes the importance of international coordination, including the allocation of resources between countries and the development of strategies to improve migration management.
