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 deals with the modeling of logistic processes of construction with the help of probability theory. Random deviations accompany any natural process, and even more so logistic processes in construction. Practice sets such tasks in which various factors play a significant role in the processes under consideration, but the number of these factors is so large that it is not always possible to trace cause-and-effect relationships between them. Elements of uncertainty, complexity, multiple causes inherent in random phenomena and processes in logistics, and therefore require special methods for their investigation, study and management. Such methods are developed by probability theory.
