    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:
    Some caveats and future directions are noteworthy. First, this investigation relied on self-reported data from a national sample of one-thousand with two-hundred which met the unvaccinated inclusion criteria, recruited online. Future investigations should also target Hispanics whose primary language is not English. Second, we were initially surprised that religious factors did not rank more prominently as a reason for not being vaccinated. The low attendance at virtual or in-person religious events may reflect either the magnitude of COVID-19 induced disruption of these events or that the sample was atypical on this variable. Third, as is true for any point in time survey, these data reflect the interval (Summer, 2021) of data collection which was before the vaccines received full Food and Drug administration approval. Much clinical, epidemiological, and basic science COVID-19 information is rapidly changing15,20-22 which will inform survey items on future attitudinal studies. In conclusion, the stakes are high for understanding, and overcoming, the multifaceted nuances of vaccine hesitancy among Hispanics and others.4 We are cautiously optimistic that this report, and future quantitative and qualitative ones, can empirically inform strategies to most efficiently target a decreasing subset of the US population that is unvaccinated against COVID-19.

    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.
