<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 href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VvyP3YZQdQYjj8DFKOpQ4pn_0pdDGgiT/edit" target="_blank">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>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>

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 href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ag4ipuybjtthxgV0YjXqYP7AwwNSYcWh/edit" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ag4ipuybjtthxgV0YjXqYP7AwwNSYcWh/edit</a><br>
</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" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IMEgmdNkx-EsnOjGuegpenSIMmKIkK00Lc8Gred3QxM/edit?usp=sharing</a><br>
</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>Allow me to remind you that the

<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>Hopefully this reminder will move
us forward.</div>
