<p>As promised, attached find the skeleton of a complete re-writing
and revision of the white paper. This new version is tentatively
titled "A dozen challenges to biosimulation model reproducibility
and integration", reflecting a new focus to the paper. </p>
<p>I have also placed this document on a shared drive, where all of
you have the ability to comment (not edit):
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VvyP3YZQdQYjj8DFKOpQ4pn_0pdDGgiT/edit">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VvyP3YZQdQYjj8DFKOpQ4pn_0pdDGgiT/edit</a>
(I hope I've done the settings correctly! Let me know if not.) <br>
</p>
<p>It's important to note that this new draft is just a skeleton,
and not a complete paper yet. I have provided a new introduction
based on Fig 1 and Table 1 as I suggested in my earlier email. I
have not yet adapted or modified any of the 12 subsections that
correspond to the 12 challenges. This is work that could be
distributed among co-authors, of course. <br>
</p>
<p>I also have not yet created any good organization of these 12
challenges, although I put in one idea (in yellow, at the end).
Others would be very welcome. <br>
</p>
<p>Although I think this provides a much stronger organization to
the paper, I'm aiming to nonetheless be faithful to the central
ideas of the earlier draft, and thus I view it as a revision,
rather than a completely new paper. <br>
</p>
<p>My main goal for disseminating the attached is to get feedback --
is this a reasonable direction to head in for the revision? Are
there critical elements or ideas that I'm missing from the
introduction? As you can see below, Eric has kindly set up a
"whenisgood" poll for a potential meeting on Monday or Tuesday
(5/17 or 5/18). Eric, please let us know if we have a quorum for
any particular time. (The earlier you can let us know, the
better!) <br>
</p>
<p>Of course, if you aren't available to chat on Mon/Tues, email
comments and discussion are welcome! <br>
</p>

<p>This is definitely a good idea. The challenge might be to
schedule a time when a sufficient quorum of us are
available....</p>
<p>My plan over the rest of this week is to draft up a
significant re-working of the paper, and then distribute
that to all. This won't be a complete revision, but rather
some example of the kinds of things to say, and some
outlines of the proposed re-organization. I should have
this done by Friday, or this weekend at the latest. So
then a Zoom call next week (Monday, May 17?) might make
sense to talk thru the ideas that I send out by this
Friday. <br>

<div>Dear all,</div>

It is probably worth having a zoom chat to discuss the
revision so that we are all working in concert. In
particular, John Gennari sent an email last week on May
3 with some thoughts that are well-worth discussing.

<div>Is there interest in doing this?</div>

<div dir="ltr">Greetings white paper contributors,<br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The voting period is over and the vote did not
change, so it is now time to act.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The paper will be revised as requested by 10
voters and the target journal will be
Bioinformatics - James Glazier and Yaling Liu will
share publication costs.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All those who asked to revise are requested to
make the revisions and discuss those.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I ask to reach a revised version by May 25 so
that we can finish an approval round by June 1st.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So far only Sheriff provided suggestions for
revisions prior to submission so I suggest we
start discussing those:</div>
<div><a

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, since it is out of format and out of
date, I suggest that all those who want to
make changes login and request to access the main
document and introduce changes there:</div>
<div><a
href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IMEgmdNkx-EsnOjGuegpenSIMmKIkK00Lc8Gred3QxM/edit?usp=sharing"

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I do ask that this will not be delayed any
further and those who asked for changes give this
task priority so it can be completed in time.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I look forward to your contributions. </div>

</div>
<div>Allow me to remind you that the Voting and
vote changes are still possible until 11-May
1am CDT </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The current votes I saw are:</div>
<div><br>
10 votes for revision<br>
Jonathan Karr<br>
Eric Forgoston<br>
William Waites<br>
James Glazier - RS Interface or
Bioinformatics<br>
Rahuman Sheriff<br>
Yaling Liu - Bioinformatics<br>
John Rice<br>
Winston Garira<br>
Gilberto Gonzalez-Parra<br>
James Osborne</div>
<div><br>
It seems 2 people supported Bioinformatics -
James Glazier and Yaling Liu so if this vote
is accepted, they will split publication costs
and the terget venue for revisions will be
Bioinformatics. <br>
<br>
There is currently 1 minority vote:<br>
Jacob Barhak for direct submission to Nature -
Scientific Reports </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If revision is selected, time will be
limited, so I suggest those who voted to start
working on revisions. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hopefully this reminder will move us
forward.</div>
