    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:
    Given limitations on socializing and recommendations for physical distancing during the pandemic, individuals may find themselves with less freedom and flexibility to extricate themselves from unhelpful or even toxic environments. Remaining vigilant for triggering situations and providing practical assistance with managing them is of critical import. Finally, assisting patients with developing and maintaining structure to their daily lives, especially when working from home, can aid recovery. Providing support, social connectedness, and daily structure are three clinical targets that appear to be critical to ED patients during the pandemic. Although our study provides important knowledge about how individuals with ED are coping with the pandemic, it has several limitations. First, given our intention to field a survey soon after COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic, we rapidly translated and adapted a survey used in the US and the Netherlands. This precluded typical steps to ensure sound psychometric properties. Second, we relied on a convenience sample (i.e., individuals who had participated in previous studies who agreed to be contacted for future research), which did not reflect the distribution of diagnoses to be expected from a community sample and may have biased results. Third, we relied on self-report diagnosis and symptom reports to characterize patients. Although all participants had formal diagnoses in the past, the use of self-reports to establish current statu...

    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.
