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 addresses significant issues in museum work, a key aspect of implementing Kazakhstan’s cultural policy. The study and promotion of history in museums are conducted through expositions and exhibitions. One of the primary tasks of modern museums is to emphasize the importance of tangible culture in the era of digital communication as a crucial resource for national competitiveness and global recognition. As cultural institutions implementing state strategic policies, museums present Kazakhstan’s historical and cultural values to the world through National Exhibitions of the country in particular, and of Turkic culture in general. This academic article discusses the conceptual framework for creating a historical exhibition covering periods from ancient times to the Kazakh Khanate, using unique exhibits from the National Museum’s collection. The methodology for creating a world-class national exhibition is based on civilizational principles. The authors aim to to present a comprehensive image of Kazakh history through museum exhibitions, reflecting the cultural code of the steppe civilization.The authors view museums as cultural, educational, scientific institutions that play a crucial role in popularizing and preserving national values. They provide scientifically grounded concepts for national exhibitions by addressing theoretical and methodological issues and methods of exhibition creation.
