*_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________*
*How does it work?*
- The applicant should submit himself/herself for the models to be
eligible for a prize.
- The types of models to be uploaded by the applicant should be selected
from a list provided by the model repository community group (which will be
published on June 30th). This list has been created to avoid duplication
and to provide the community with access to the most recent and/or cited
published models.
- Other models (for instance PAGE, ACoP, other journals, etc….) can be
accepted for credit, but these should be proposed in advance to the model
repository community group ([email protected]).
- Once the applicant has selected an eligible model from the list,
he/she will be required to submit and share that model on the DDMoRe model
repository.
- To be considered eligible, the model should be published following the
submission guidelines of the DDMoRe model repository. If the model is
uploaded in MDL/ PharmML the applicant will receive 3 credits, if the model
is submitted in the original code the applicant will receive 1 credit. If
the model is currently not available online, the applicant will receive an
additional credit on top.
*How will the winners be decided?*
- A panel committee will review the applications that satisfy the
eligibility criteria.
- The 5 applicants with the highest credit will receive a prize.
*What will the winners receive?*
- The prizes will be determined by the level of sponsorship received by
DDMoRe foundation for this challenge during the next few weeks (by June
29th).
- The prize money may be used to reimburse (in part or wholly) the
winners travel expenses (flight/hotel) to attend ether a scientific
congress or a training workshop.
*Planned deadline for the challenge:* 30th of September 2017
*Why do we believe in model exchange and transparency?*
*Modellers*
*: improve your productivity by using directly executable models published
in the DDMoRe repository and increase the impact of your own models by
sharing them! Journal editors: ensure the reproducibility of your
publication content by requiring the model code be published on the DDMoRe
repository.*
