It is critical for researchers and grantees alike to adhere to rigor and transparency criteria to ensure their contributions to scientific research are sufficiently transparent so they can be replicated and eventually reproduced. SciScore evaluates scientific manuscripts for compliance with consensus granting agency and journal recommendations designed to address different aspects of rigor and transparency in the published literature (e.g., MDAR [Materials Design Analysis Reporting], ARRIVE [Animal Research: Reporting In Vivo Experiments], CONSORT [Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials], RRID [Research Resource Identification] standards). SciScore has been implemented by several society publishers in different ways, with one allowing authors to run the tool as often as they wish, and another having editors verify manuscripts using the report provided by the tool. Results show that the use of the tool led to an increase in the average SciScore over time or via the revision process. The use of the tool also resulted in an increase in the number of manuscripts with RRIDs, a fairly easy transparency criterion to check. We conclude that the use of the tool is effective in improving some aspects of rigor of research articles.
对于研究人员和受资助者而言，坚持严谨性和透明度标准至关重要，以确保他们对科学研究的贡献足够透明，从而能够被复制并最终重现。SciScore评估科学手稿是否符合共识资助机构和期刊的建议，这些建议旨在解决已发表文献中严谨性和透明度的不同方面（例如，MDAR[材料设计分析报告]、ARRIVE[动物研究：体内实验报告]、CONSORT[报告试验的统一标准]、RRID[研究资源识别]标准）。SciScore已被几家学会出版商以不同方式实施，一种方式是允许作者根据自己的意愿多次运行该工具，另一种方式是让编辑使用该工具提供的报告来核实手稿。结果表明，随着时间的推移或通过修订过程，使用该工具导致平均SciScore有所提高。使用该工具还使带有RRID的手稿数量增加，RRID是一个相当容易核查的透明度标准。我们得出结论，使用该工具在提高研究文章严谨性的某些方面是有效的。
