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

This study explores the impact of electronic devices on university students' academic performance. The study uses a sample of 200 students from one university and examines the relationship between electronic device use and academic performance. The findings suggest that electronic device use during lectures and study time has a negative impact on academic performance, with laptops having a more negative impact than tablets or smartphones. The study has important implications for university students, educators, and policymakers, and provides recommendations for practice and policy to promote academic success. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on the impact of electronic devices on academic performance and highlights the need for further research to explore this relationship in different settings and with larger samples.
