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

The methodology and scope of quality assessment for objects of any nature is covered by qualimetry—the science of measuring quality [1]. We have attempted to use the methods of qualimetry to assess the quality of measuring instruments, such as pressure sensors (IPTs) produced by major domestic and foreign manufacturers
