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

An experimental study was conducted to assess the toxicological properties of the drilling fluid, including its general toxic, local irritant, and dermal-resorptive effects. Clinical and behavioral parameters, food and water consumption, body weight dynamics, relative weights of internal organs, and hematological and biochemical blood parameters were evaluated. The results obtained characterize the combined systemic and local toxic effects of the investigated drilling fluid.
