    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: There are some limitations to this study. First, to ensure the timeliness of the survey, we conducted an initial validation of the survey instrument through expert review. Although the CVI coefficient and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient are acceptable, further standard validation measures are needed. Second, the sample of this study was mainly taken from two undergraduate schools having mostly nursing undergraduates and was based on the enrollment level of the schools as well as the students’ willingness to fill out the survey; thus, the results need to be interpreted with caution. Third, this study was conducted three months after the vaccine was released, which may only reflect initial willingness to be vaccinated. Further research is still needed to analyze mid- and late-stage willingness to be vaccinated as well as actual vaccination behavior.

    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.
