Data confidence 70 medium
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

Background: Kazakhstan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Ukraine by 2005-2013 were running human, veterinary and vector disease surveillance on paper with rare application of software for selected vertical programs. This traditional method did not meet the modern requirements of information timeliness, data quality, data analysis and one-health integration of veterinary and human data.
