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 Microcyclops afghanicus, a poorly known species previously reported only from Afghanistan and southern Siberia, has been found in Kazakhstan for the first time. New data on the morphology, variability, and distribution of the species are given. The synonymy of M. afghanicus Lindberg, 1948 and M. longiramus Shen & Sung, 1965 is proposed.
