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:While there is no immediate reason to expect these limitations affect our qualitative conclusions, they indicate that future research is needed both on the physical propensities of adolescents to transmit SARS-CoV-2 and the behavioral patterns of this age group under pandemic conditions.

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:While there is no immediate reason to expect these limitations affect our qualitative conclusions, they indicate that future research is needed both on the physical propensities of adolescents to transmit SARS-CoV-2 and the behavioral patterns of this age group under pandemic conditions. In sum, our study shows that cohorting can decrease the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in classrooms. The way in which classrooms are divided matters. We have demonstrated that simple and easily implementable network-based strategies can improve the effectiveness of cohorting by reducing cross-cohort out-of-school interaction with classmates. The ensuing separation between cohorts limits the spread of SARS-CoV-2 across cohorts and can further reduce quarantines and infections, especially in situations with strong transmission dynamics.
