Thanks James, And thanks Eric.

James - your idea is not bad.  However,  there is a conflict between the two approaches to present the work.

The previous approach was set by Sheriff who noticed that there is a path from reproducibility, through credibility,  to utility to allow integration. And the structure followed that flow. It was not perfect, yet the idea was good and important - this was a major observation he introduced early on. We eventually focused on challenges in the utility section since this is where it seems we are stuck today - although many of the challenges are rooted before utility.

John Gannari took a different approach and focused on the challenges - he merged some sections to get straight to the point. This is noticeable especially in the two credibility sections that were merged into one..

I tried to follow this idea, yet his version was not something I can work on because it has not matured and was not traceable and lost many details and nuances that seem important - at least to me. Yes, there were so many trees that the reader may have lost the forest. When editing I was thinking how to make the merge - however, it was not obvious how to do it while maintaining the idea Sheriff introduced without a lot of work and while not removing other nuances. So I decided for practical reasons to keep the structure closer to what Sheriff asked - believe me I saw the value of John's approach - it was just much more work and our resources are limited.

Eventually I decided that the most important thing in this work is the summary - basically the table and its detailed explanation in the sections we wrote. Think about it. What we summarized can be reused by an official to decide where to allocate efforts in the future - even we can reuse this when writing a proposal to focus on resolving issues and point to that summary as an explanation to why we are working on some topics.  We show the grave reality as is and admit there are problems and suggest possible solutions. This is important. This is why I am pushing towards fast publication - if we publish fast, our findings may have more impact than if we continue perfecting the product towards publication.

So I am not really arguing against your points, they are valid, yet in my mind the priority is to get the paper published so we can move on and fix those problems rather than discussing what is the best way to present them. I agree that the presentation is not perfect - yet in my mind it is more than good enough.

This is why I am pushing  and I hope I am transmitting this sense of urgency to the group properly. We can always continue discussions later, yet for now let us agree on something and make sure it gets published properly.

We can always have a better version in the future.

Please remember that this is the best I could do after working many consecutive hours on it. And I did add many of John's ideas in the new version - whatever was lost I apologize, yet I am only human and can do so much. I really tried hard to preserve all ideas - I hope I did well enough.

Hopefully this will calm down the conversation so we can focus on action.

I see Eric changed the text in the stochastic section. This concludes major changes other than formatting and proofs if I recall correctly. However, before I proceed further I would like Eric to acknowledge that this test was his alone and was not just copied from another version. We had no traceability on the other version and I know there were many anonymous edits. Even when Hana added some sections to the paper she ported Alex's changes by mistake - after a while people forget what text they wrote - it's normal. I want a fully traceable paper back to originators - it is not an unusual request in a group that declares they are interested in reproducibility - if we cannot trace our own edits, how ever do we think we can ever trace a complex mathematical model?

 So Eric, I ask that you publicly verify that the text you added here is your own and only yours and does not have contributions from an anonymous contributor .

Also Hana, you added two more paragraphs in the units standardization section - can you verify that those are yours and only yours - and from anonymous contributors?  You already verified this for the paragraphs you added in data definitions - can you double check the paragraphs in the units section and reply to all declaring this is your text alone?

As you can see the concept of traceability back to origin is important to me - I ask that you help me here.

                  Jacob

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

>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> The editor grants us the extension by rejecting the paper and allowing time to come up with a better version. There is no time limit now, yet I want to get her a revised version within a month.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> The requests are simple and easy to satisfy - and I know there are many of you who want more revisions, yet I suggest we reduce them to only what is manageable and necessary. Otherwise we will never get this paper published despite its importance.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> The most time consuming effort would be adhering to the journal format as defined here:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> I think the most time consuming task would be dealing with the references - otherwise the format guidelines seem reasonable.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> We can also add some revisions we started working on. However, I will personally insist on :
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1. traceability - currently there is no traceability in the revised version in the summer
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2. non deletion - do not delete any content unless you wrote it originally or unless you announced it beforehand to the group and got no objections within a few days
>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3. Avoid Adding more material that is not in the existing versions we had - especially references - we don't have time for that and that is not what the editor asked us anyway.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> I will also ask for fast responses from all contributors.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> To be practical, I marked the submitted version and opened the document to those who requested editing rights in the past.  If you want editing rights, let me know - however, the edits should be minimal and focus on areas you edited in the past and be aware that if your edits will not get approved by everyone, we will revert to the old version we all accepted. The submitted version was marked so we can always get back to it.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> If you want editing rights, let me know and I will respond within a day - I cannot promise to be fatter than that these days.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Alex, John, Sheriff, you had other versions you created, I want to merge some of your changes to the manuscript in this version - here are my suggestions:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> - Sheriff, I will soften the language as you requested - this was your main request in the past, yet I will go over your list of changes and see what I else can be done without reinventing the paper
>>>>>>>>>>>>> - John - I will 1) merge the credibility sections , 2) delete the history related to the working group since it matches with what was requested, and 3) move the model validation barrier section away from the table since we did not suggest a solution there.  Hopefully this will make the paper more appealing to you and you will be willing to add your name to the list
>>>>>>>>>>>>> - Alex, your changes were made on May 16, 2021 and shared in a way I can see the differences and trace them back to you - I will try to add your references and see if I can incorporate your text changes as much as I can.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> If the 3 of you are ok with me migrating your changes, I can start the work to save time. Yet I want your ok first.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> I know Eric and Hana were working on some sections and feel strongly about those - specifically the stochastic modeling part - I am open to your changes, please suggest what you feel strongly about..
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> I recall Johnathan Karr wanted to make some changes, please let me know if there is anything you feel strongly about - he had a lot of text in the paper ..
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> If I forgot anyone who had major requests, please remind me. .
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> I am trying to avoid a never ending revisioning cycle. So I am asking you to trust me and centralize the work in hope I get a better version by the end of the week..

>>>>>>>>>>>>> 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<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://lists.simtk.org/pipermail/vp-reproduce-subgroup/2021-March/000019.html__;!!K6Z8K8YTIA!XrMpAmgrssg48HBHvORF_zLz-N99fFk-xDrejHZuWIzZbH4c_6yzw9PZU9PH8Z5pllM$>  -  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.
