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

Gender equality and women's rights are among the most discussed issues in the context of Islam. In Kazakh society, perceptions of women's gender roles are historically and culturally influenced. Currently, religious discourse plays an active role in defining women's gender roles on social media in Kazakhstan. With the rise of social media, traditional views of conservative religious authorities regarding women are being actively retransmitted. This article analyzes the statements of Rizabek Battauly concerning women through discourse analysis. Additionally, it critiques patriarchal religious discourse within the framework of contextual reading methods that offer egalitarian interpretations of Quranic verses related to women.
