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

    Table 1: Rigor

    Institutional Review Board StatementIRB: The study protocol was approved by the research ethics committee of Tehran University of Medical Sciences under license ID IR.TUMS.VCR.REC.1399.085.
    Randomizationnot detected.
    Blindingnot detected.

    Table 2: Resources

    No key resources detected.


    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:
    The study had a number of limitations, including the data collection method which was electronic and non-random sampling through social media. This sampling method prevented the participants from being distributed by the education level in a ration of the general public, and people with higher education and those with more access to information technology were more likely to participate in this study. However, the analysis of the study results showed that people from all provinces of the country participated in this study and the distribution of samples of this study in different areas of technology development was not different from the distribution of the country’s general population in these areas.

    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:

    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.
