  1. SciScore for 10.1101/2020.08.21.20178855: (What is this?)

    Please note, not all rigor criteria are appropriate for all manuscripts.

    Table 1: Rigor

    NIH rigor criteria are not applicable to paper type.

    Table 2: Resources

    No key resources detected.


    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:
    A limitation of the study is that we assumed a 75% occupancy and 15% walk-in percentage during COVID-19 hospital operations. Due to decreases in elective procedures, or low COVID-19 patient admission, hospitals in various areas may not have maintained that occupancy rate. However, the intent was to assess energy usage in locations where hospitals were accommodating maximum patient loads and the associated energy impact and impact of infection control measures. Due to proprietary restrictions, another limitation is that the UV equipment usage was accounted for from a different company than the XP-UV robot itself.

    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.
