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 article studies the outstanding historical personality of Korkyt, his heritage in music and literature. Researches related to Korkyt, conducted by Turkic scientists analyzed, including popular tales and myths, “Korkyt baba’s book”. There were new suggestions to find out him as a zhyrau and his musical heritage. Especially a complex issue whether the real existence of Korkyt was true or he was only folklore personage and about the real period of Korkyt’s life has been aroused based on ethno geographic uprising of the oghyz tribe.
