Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:In turn, on empirical research, informed readers can more objectively appraise the research methods, the data presented, the validity of its conclusions, or limitations that are applicable, either in preprint or peer-reviewed versions. To answer the pandemic needs, the best challenge in this emergency would be increase the amount of completed and published research and translate it into practice. Limitations of the study: This study only covers journals and publications indexed in PubMed: a comprehensive but not exhaustive health research database. For pre-prints we used the COVID-19 section of these servers to investigate the preprint versions at the time of our data extraction. Our data collection period was a tightly defined window (December 2019-May 2020). However, since no filter nor topics are present for selecting pre-prints categories and the average time taken to display search results is not always optimal in the servers (44), a preferred hand screening was made. This partly threatens the validity of the comparisons of study types between peer-reviewed and preprint publications An illustrative example may be that of the epidemiologic studies: in pre-prints, we recorded different study designs as mentioned in the Methods section (such as Case-Control Studies, Cross-Sectional Studies but also extending to biologic and mathematical models), whereas in PubMed we involved the regular MeSH term that includes a clustered study designs (such as Case-Control Studies, Cross-S...
