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

Its communications with its target markets must be organized, professional and creative. A successfully created website design attracts visitors and, of course, should increase enrollment.

Accordingly, research aimed at analyzing various issues of creating an effective university website is gaining significant relevance. The article discusses both the theoretical and practical issues of website activities. A selection of university websites has been analyzed and the issues and challenges discussed.
