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.

Technical and criminalistic support of investigative actions as a category of criminalistics is widely studied in works of well known criminalistic scientists. However, the features of this category in relation to the investigation of individual crimes, in particular, the act of terrorism, under Article 255 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, are not sufficiently studied. At the moment, in the context of the activation of Islamic extremism around the world, the investigative bodies of the Republic of Kazakhstan must be ready to any of its manifestations, so the research conducted in the framework of the present article is very timely and relevant. The aim of this study is to identify and explore the possibilities of technical and criminalistic tools in the investigation of acts of terrorism when carrying out the examination of a crime scene and interrogation. The solution of such problems as the clarification of the essence of the phenomena under consideration and their characteristics, and the optimization of the conceptual apparatus will contribute to the achievement of this aim. The author explores the topic of the crime scene examination and interrogation in the investigation of acts of terrorism, based on the opinions of scholars, legal norms, law enforcement statistics, scientific-practical materials containing the data on the modern technical and criminalistic methods and equipment used in the investigation of acts of terrorism, experience of their application abroad.
