How this study scored 16/100
Report — not peer-reviewed. It scored 55 on the same rubric, but non-peer-reviewed sources are capped at 16, so it shows as 16. We have no data on times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and multi-centre collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 34 of the 62 points we could judge it on, which is 55 out of 100.
