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

In this article, based on archival sources, the latest literature examines the history of creation, research, local history activities of a number of Russian imperial scientific and local history societies of the post-reform period. The novelty of this article lies in the attempt to systematically analyze the history of the creation, the results of scientific and publishing geographic, archival, archaeological, statistical societies operating in the territory of imperial Central Asia. The study of the results of research activities of local history societies has led to the conclusion that pre-revolutionary scientific societies have made a significant contribution to the scientific study of Central Asia.
