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

    Table 1: Rigor

    IRB: Procedure: The USC Institutional Review Board approved the study.
    Sex as a biological variableThe demographic characteristics of the sample were similar to those of the USC student population, although the sample was overrepresented by Asians and women and underrepresented by Latinx/Hispanic and international students.
    Randomizationnot detected.
    Blindingnot detected.
    Power Analysisnot detected.

    Experimental Models: Organisms/Strains
    SentencesResources
    African Americans had higher odds of being unvaccinated compared to Non-Hispanic White participants (OR=1.88, 95% CI: 1.20, 2.96).
    Non-Hispanic White
    suggested: None

    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:
    Limitations: This analysis was based on a non-random sample of university students who responded to an online survey. Findings may not generalize to the larger student population or to other universities. Future studies are needed to identify correlates of vaccination and vaccine hesitancy among students who chose not to participate. Vaccination status was self-reported.

    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.


    Results from rtransparent:

    Results from scite Reference Check: We found no unreliable references.


    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.
