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 relevance of the topic under study is due to the increasing role of social networks in modern social and legal relations, and in particular, its influence on the administration of justice. The influence of the new media culture on the revision of communication and the practice of disseminating information about a person's personality raises unusual and interesting questions concerning the activities of the courts. In the global era, the use of social media has become the daily activity of most people. Social networks have become a powerful tool for information and educational work and can contribute to increasing public confidence in the judiciary. However, the use of social media generates ethical issues with new challenges. The main purpose of the research is to analyze some of the main international legal aspects of the problems of judicial ethics in social networks. The influence of the new media culture on the rethinking of communication and the practice of disseminating personal information raises specific and interesting questions about the functioning of the judiciary. In the global age, using social media has become a daily activity for most people. Social media has become a powerful advocacy tool and can increase public confidence in the judiciary. Judges should be careful when using social media. When posting materials on social networks, it should be taken into account that everything that they publish will remain even after deletion, and the information provided by the judge may be misinterpreted and taken out of context. When writing an anonymous comment online, keep in mind that there are different ways to identify a person. Any personal information or photos posted on the social network must be modest and appropriate.
