My main suggestion is what I did to the previous version (John Gs) bit
didn't make it over. Which was to have some more levels to the sections.
As it is they are all the same level and therefore there's no break between
the introduction material and the main focus of the paper (in my opinion
the table of difficulties or challenges and subsequent sections)

My very low effort proposal is to.

 * change the section title "Utility of Models" to something like
"Challenges with using multiscale models
 * Then put the difficulties/ challenges listed in the table into
subsections called things like "Challenge 1: Evaluating Model Credibility "

This wouldn't change any content so would not mess up tracking
contributions or the "content" of the paper but would make it more readable
as the reader would have more help identifying the contribution from the
paper.

I believe it will make the papers intent clearer and easier to read.

But if you're against it I rest my case and defer to your opinion.

James

work to fit a specific format and find all missing links and also fix some
errors - no tool would have helped me then. This time I think it will be a

>>>>>>>>>>>>> If there is a mismatch of authors in the submission, it can
be easily corrected - we kept the paper traceable when we constructed it so
we can point to exact texts contributed by each contributor through their
google account and versions kept in google docs with few exceptions where I
personally added text their wrote and have email conversations supporting
that .  I personally collected all those contributions in google docs when
I assembled the version you see and made sure it is agreed upon by the
contributors. It is important to note that There was one contributor that
asked for more revisions and did not approve this manuscript, yet allowed
submitting the text without association to it to avoid delays. The entire
conversation was documented publicly in our mailing list and we got consent
from this contributor to continue and use the text - You can find the
conversation  here:
https://lists.simtk.org/pipermail/vp-reproduce-subgroup/2021-March/000019.html
 -  so there are no copyright issues and the name of the author is not
included in the list above at their request. Those included in the list
have contributed and approved. If needed, we will correct the list in the
journal to match this list. Please note that we kept the entire process as
transparent as possible so there will be no issues. If there are any
concerns of authorship, I will be happy to dig into the history and pull
out details.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2. The reason the manuscript was submitted in this form is to
get confirmation on initial fit and to get some initial feedback. We were
interested in fast review to get the information quickly out - Also note
that we did not intend this to be a final version - we already have some
modifications in the work that we would like to introduce where more people
contributed , yet we have not reached agreement on those so we cannot
formally publish them - however, we did reach agreement on submitting this
version for review so the editor can focus us on what is important to
change to get published with a 3rd Party - enough of us agreed in a vote
that your Journal seems is a suitable 3rd party and hence the submission.
We will be happy to spend the time to convert the manuscript to the desired
format if you find the content suitable for the journal. So far your
requests are reasonable and I will convey them to the group through our
mailing list.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3. Please note that after the list of authors there is a
disclaimer : "The opinion of the contributors do not reflect the opinions
of the entire working group". Initially this paper started as an activity
requested by the working group leads. However, by no means it represents
all opinions. The introduction in this version of the paper captures some
of this history of how the manuscript was created and modified. However, we
have other versions of the manuscript in work where this history is deleted
- If you prefer, we can easily create a version that detaches from the
working group to eliminate all concerns - this is a relatively easy fix.
However, whatever fix we do, we will have to approve with all contributors.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 4  The revisions can be done in reasonable time. However, the
process of collecting approval for all contributors to legally approve the
revised manuscript will take more than 14 days. All contributors must
approve a manuscript for publication. With this number of authors we will
probably not make it in the time you mentioned - only the approval process
for collecting all approvals took alone about 3 weeks to approve this
version you see.  Hopefully you will understand this and extend this time
period beyond 14 days.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> In summary:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Making the fixes you asked for towards publication is easy -
yet getting the approval from so many people may take us more time than
what you provide. If it is possible to get an extension, it will be
appreciated.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> I will add this conversation to our mailing list so we can
start the process of revising the manuscript.  However, if after this email
you have more issues with this paper, Please advise on the best course of
action you see fit so we can adjust accordingly.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hopefully we can address your concerns in time to publish the
manuscript in a timely manner.

>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dear Jacob,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Thank you for your manuscript submission. I cannot send it
out for review in its current form because I have a few concerns, but if
you can address the following issues, I will certainly reconsider a revised
manuscript if the following are adequately addressed:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1. The author list that is on the first page differs from the
author list that was provided at the time of submission.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2. The manuscript needs to be submitted using the official
Frontiers template.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3. The manuscript states that it represents the views of a
number of special interest and working groups, and the authors should
provide assurances that they have the authority and approval to speak on
behalf of the working groups that are listed.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 4. There are places throughout the manuscript, and most
frequently in the second half, where information is provided as bulleted
talking points without context. Those sections should be revised into
paragraphs of text or summarized in a table (or figure).
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> If you wish to submit a revised manuscript, the journal
provides a 14-day time window for you to do so. Please let me know if you
have any questions.
