The Automated Screening Working Groups is a group of software engineers and biologists passionate about improving scientific manuscripts on a large scale. Our members have created tools that check for common problems in scientific manuscripts, including information needed to improve transparency and reproducibility. We have combined our tools into a single pipeline, called ScreenIT. We're currently using our tools to screen COVID preprints.

      Evaluation Summary:

      In this paper, the authors demonstrate that the macrophage efferocytic response in SARS-CoV-2 infection is compromised for two reasons. Internalization of apoptotic SARS-CoV-2 infected cells leads to: 1) A proinflammatory as opposed to an anti-inflammatory response; and 2) reduction in macrophage capacity to perform further efferocytosis

      (This preprint has been reviewed by eLife. We include the public reviews from the reviewers here; the authors also receive private feedback with suggested changes to the manuscript. Reviewer #2 agreed to share their name with the authors.)
