Recommended computational model publishing workflow

  1. Upload your model source code, narrative documentation, and related files to the CoMSES.Net Computational Model Library. Include descriptive metadata, licensing information, run instructions, important software and data dependencies, and example inputs or outputs to support reproducibility and reuse by others. Each model release is private until you explicitly publish it, and you can create / regenerate a private share link with redacted metadata for that release viewable by anyone with the link.

  2. While the model is private, consider requesting CoMSES Peer Review. Reviewers will evaluate the model’s reproducibility, documentation quality, metadata completeness, and usability. During review, you can continue updating files and metadata in response to feedback.

  3. After your model passes peer review and you publish your model release, CoMSES.Net will mint a DOI for that version, typically within 24 hours.

  4. Cite the DOI in publications, presentations, and other scholarly outputs related to the model. Future model releases can receive their own versioned DOIs after going through the peer review process again.
