  1. SciScore for 10.1101/2021.04.19.21255701: (What is this?)

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

    Table 1: Rigor

    EthicsIRB: Institutional review board approval was not required because this study used only publicly available data.
    Sex as a biological variableTo better understand demographic differences, we applied a previously validated deep learning system through the m3inference library36 to infer the account user as an individual or an organization and if labeled as an individual, their gender (female or male) and age group (≤18 years old, 19-29 years old, 30-39 years old, and ≥ 40 years old) based on multimodal input that includes username, display name, description, and profile picture image.
    RandomizationWe manually reviewed a random subsample of 1,000 tweets and verified the tweets’ relevance to the topic of COVID-19 vaccination.
    Blindingnot detected.
    Power Analysisnot detected.

    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.
