    The infection matrix F and the transition matrix V are given by –

    where, , and w1 = (γ + μ + w) The basic reproduction number R0 of the model (1), is defined by the spectral radius of the next-generation matrix FV−1, therefore,

    where, R1, R2, R3 and R4 gives the quantification of the disease risk through susceptible-to-exposed, susceptible-to-infected detected, susceptible-to-infected undetected, and environment-to-human transmission routes, respectively.

    Results from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code. Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).


    Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
    Despite these strengths, this study has a few weaknesses. Since, the basic reproduction number was estimated by taking some parameter values from other studies and an approximated value of the number of undetected cases, the findings of this model may differ slightly from its actual value.

    Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.


    Results from Barzooka: We did not find any issues relating to the usage of bar graphs.


    Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
