To uphold our commitment to responsible metrics, we have created ‘data notes’ for specific searches in Overton. These notes inform you about possible limitations in our data for your chosen search context.
We rank ‘data notes’ into three categories by priority. This article will list all the ‘low priority’ or green data notes along with an interpretation.
