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 article presents the monitoring data of medicinal substances (PM) in the surface waters of the city of Nur-Sultan and its environs (Republic of Kazakhstan). The results show the presence of carbamazepine and sulfamethaxazole in surface waters. Samples were taken monthly from April to December 2021. Analysis of medicinal substances was carried out using the method of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A possible reason for the presence of medicinal substances in surface waters is their entry with wastewater from the public utility sector of the city of Nur-Sultan into surface sources after treatment.
