   Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:

   While the current study presented robust evidence for the experiences of Asian Americans related to COVID-19, several limitations should be considered in the interpretation of these findings. Firstly, our use of a novel measurement of self-reported racial/ethnic discrimination due to COVID-19 has not been validated. The survey, which was advertised and administered via online platforms including email listservs, social media, and Pollfish, limited our sample to technologically literate populations, leading to a lack of older respondents (Table 1) and relatively few respondents with limited English proficiency, despite the fact that alternative language surveys were offered. Additionally, given the cross-sectional, retrospective, and survey nature of our current study, selection, recall, and social desirability biases may have all played a role in overrepresenting or underrepresenting participants experiencing discrimination. There is no evidence to suggest that these biases are differential by race/ethnicity, though these racial/ethnic comparisons should be viewed with these caveats in mind. While this is the largest sample of COVID-19 discrimination survey data in Asian Americans published to date, each Asian subgroup displayed a relatively small sample size. Future studies should strive to disaggregate Asian subgroups and achieve higher sample sizes to further explore trends that were observed in our study. There are also numerous factors not controlled for in this study th...

   Results from Barzooka: We found bar graphs of continuous data. We recommend replacing bar graphs with more informative graphics, as many different datasets can lead to the same bar graph. The actual data may suggest different conclusions from the summary statistics. For more information, please see Weissgerber et al (2015).
