Figure 3. Individual TRUST-PAPER scores by journal-impact group. The distributions were clearly shifted but overlapped, demonstrating that journal group was not a perfect classifier of individual-paper trustworthiness. Blue and orange dots represent individual papers from higherand lower-impact journals, respectively. Green triangles indicate group means. Horizontal lines within the boxes indicate medians, and the lower and upper box boundaries represent the first and third quartiles (interquartile range, IQR). Whiskers extend to the most extreme values within 1.5 × IQR of the box boundaries. Open circles identify observations beyond the whiskers; these observations are also displayed as colored dots and do not represent additional papers.
