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

Keeping the updated calibration values for scintillator-based detectors is a challenge for the detectors of cosmic rays, as the detectors are normally installed outdoors in the field, away from the controlled climate conditions of the lab. Changes in temperature and weather in general, and other external factors can influence the detector performance and need to be monitored and calibration values updated. This publication describes the procedure of monitoring the calibration settings from the Horizon-T detectors in the conditions of high altitude and for the case of the long data-carrying cables from each detector when access to each detector may not be possible or very difficult at certain times.
