The study introduces an automated method called SciScore to detect whether an article's methods section mentions any of 15 categories, such as a consent statement or an organism. These metrics are combined to create a single score for each article called the "Rigor and Transparency Index". The authors applied the method to the PubMed Central Open Access subset with over 1 million articles to identify trends in the level of details provided by method sections.
