    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:
    Limitations: There are a few obvious limitations of the study that need to be acknowledged. The study is being conducted in the midst of the pandemic and as such the data is subject to change over any plausible short duration. However, this could serve as the strength of study, wherein our results will reflect an overview of the global impact of the virus. Another important confounding factor that impacts the mortality rate and our study observation is how the COVID-19 mortality is calculated. Currently different countries have different methods and criteria for analyzing their respective mortality.

    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. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
