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 primary objective of the research was to develop innovative solutions for the ecological reconstruction of Shymkent’s urban environment based on a comprehensive analysis of air quality data (AQICN) and land-use assessment. The research methodology included three key components: (1) pollution monitoring, using a network of monitoring stations; (2) green space assessment using geographic information systems and satellite imagery processing; and (3) an integrated analysis of the ecological state of urban areas, accounting for building density and other anthropogenic factors. The proposed methodology can be applied to rapidly growing cities in Kazakhstan, making this research particularly valuable for urban planning.
