Reproducible research using biomodels

TL;DR

This paper emphasizes the importance of reproducibility in biomodel research and advocates for using standard formats and public repositories to enhance transparency and reproducibility.

Contribution

It highlights practical strategies for improving reproducibility in biological modeling by adopting standard formats and sharing resources publicly.

Findings

Using standard formats facilitates model sharing.

Public repositories improve reproducibility.

Adopting these practices can enhance scientific transparency.

Abstract

Like other types of computational research, modeling and simulation of biological processes (biomodels) is still largely communicated without sufficient detail to allow independent reproduction of results. But reproducibility in this area of research could easily be achieved by making use of existing resources, such as supplying models in standard formats and depositing code, models, and results in public repositories.
