Current Focus:
To be determined
Other Goals:
Identify key journals ( completed)
Obtain buy-in to strategic plan by key journal editors.
- Identify editors for each of the key journals
- Contact the editors to inform them about what we are planning and ask about their existing criteria for simulation papers
Develop and vet criteria with users and developers of simulations and associated methods.
- Beginning with the feedback from the editors, exisiting literature, and our own experiences, draft a strawman set of criteria
- Solicit feedback on the strawman from practitioners
- Revise the strawman based on feedback
Develop an agreement with journals to publicize validation criteria and to implement a policy for authors to adhere to these criteria prior to acceptance and publication of relevant articles in these journals.
- Communicate the criteria to journal editors
- Publish the criteria at fluidproperties.org
Develop a repository/database of refereed simulation results
- Define more carefully what types of simulation results to be incorporated and criteria to judge validity of results
- http://www.biosimgrid.org/ is an example of a simulation database
- Provide framework for researchers to submit results (check with Tom Allison who is doing this for kinetics)
Monitor acceptance of criteria
