    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:
    4.4 Limitations: We aim to capture the health conditions of healthcare staff during the peak medical demand of the COVID-19 pandemic. We were fortunate that the number of total active COVID-19 cases in Iran reached its peak on the week we started the survey, and it is reasonable to think the healthcare demand during our survey period was very heavy. Still we were not able to obtain the number of COVID-19 patients in healthcare facilities in Iran. The exact number of patients, along with a longitudinal design, could reveal the fluctuations of the conditions of healthcare staff as the peak came and passed. 4.5 Conclusions: Protecting healthcare staff, including their physical health, mental health, and their job satisfaction for their important vocation, is paramount during the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. We found the risk factors for healthcare staff in Iran differed from those in past studies in China. As countries vary in their medical systems, readiness for viral epidemics, clinical capacity, and response, we encourage future studies to examine the conditions of healthcare workers and their predictors in individual countries.

    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.
