    Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
    This study has several limitations. First, our findings on the relationships between meteorological factors and the transmission rate of COVID-19 are derived from statistical and mathematical analyses using real-life data. Highly rigorous controlled medical experiments are still necessary to show their effect in a laboratory environment. Second, control measures are mainly evaluated in the context of mainland China, Hong Kong and Singapore. The differences in economics, politics, and even culture may lead to varying effects of control measures. Therefore, an issue that needs to be investigated in a global context is whether the control measures can be replicated outside these regions.

    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.
