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 growing range of information flow has impacted the way its value is perceived and transmitted among members of organizations or teams. Previous research has primarily focused on how information was transmitted, considering various flow directions and information formats. The issue of intricate communication conditions highlights the lack of a systematic approach to information flow, which considers all the nuances of human communication and relationships. By gathering student representatives from different educational programs at Astana IT University, we created a simulated environment in the IT business process. The focus group members transmitted information in different formats and circumstances, allowing us to find the factors that cause distortion in the flow of information and its conceptual causes. Our research paper presents valuable insights for developing an optimized process for transferring data in the information stream, to prevent the distortion of its value.
