Average offsets between the medians measured in the SDSS reference sample and for the star-forming galaxies of zCOSMOS 20k in each redshift bin for the mass − metallicity relation (MZR), the star formation-corrected mass − metallicity relation (SMZ), and the relation between stellas mass and N/O (MNOR).
