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 signing and ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities by the Republic of Kazakhstan require amendments to the state legislation in order to comply with the norms of this international document. This article shows how Kazakhstan’s legislation largely complies with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. However, there are still many challenges, which we discuss in this article. The main challenge of implementing the state disability policy is the lack of effective mechanisms to achieve the goals and the objectives set forth.
