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 first historical sound recordings of the Turkic-speaking peoples, which are of significant historical, cultural and scientific value, are kept separately in various foreign archives and have not received a complete and comprehensive study. This article provides an overview of archival materials and information about the sound collections of the music of Turkic-speaking prisoners-of war, kept in the Vienna Phonogram Collections of the Archives of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. The materials were prepared by the author during a scientific trip to the Vienna Phonogram Archive in 2019, as part of a scientific project of the International Organization of Turkic Culture TURKSOY.
