    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:
    Strengths and limitations: The quality of the study was enhanced through the use of a multi-methods approach in which interview and open-text responses were used to develop insight into factors underpinning quantitative responses. Our study took place at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in England and a survey repeated now that we are ‘past the peak’ of COVID-19 cases and deaths and lockdown has been eased may yield different responses. This has already been indicated in the second wave of a large European survey looking at COVID-19 vaccine attitudes [28]. This highlights the need for longitudinal studies to measure the acceptability of a COVID-19 vaccine at different intervals. Our recruitment strategy, using social media, achieved a high number of responses (n=1252). Although geographically representative, our participants were not overly representative in terms of household income and ethnicity. This meant that it was not possible to explore differences in vaccination views by ethnicity and household income when looking at open-text responses and conducting interviews.

    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.

    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.
