Mould and R. Upton): Part 1: http://www.nature.com/psp/journal/v1/n9/full/psp20124a.html Part 2: http://www.nature.com/psp/journal/v2/n4/full/psp201314a.html A Time to Event Tutorial for Pharmacometricians (N. Holford): http://www.nature.com/psp/journal/v2/n5/full/psp201318a.html Modeling and Simulation Workbench for NONMEM: Tutorial on Pirana, PsN, and Xpose (R. Keizer, M. Karlsson and A. Hooker): http://www.nature.com/psp/journal/v2/n6/full/psp201324a.html Establishing Best Practices and Guidance in Population Modeling: an Experience with an Internal Population Pharmacokinetic Analysis Guidance (W. Byon et al.): http://www.nature.com/psp/journal/v2/n7/full/psp201326a.html http://www.nature.com/psp/journal/v2/n7/full/psp201337a.html As explained in a recent Editorial ( http://www.nature.com/psp/journal/v2/n7/full/psp201327a.html), aCPT:PSPTutorial is intended as aneducational article providing practical tutorial on tools, methodologies, and approaches. Tutorials aim to increase the awareness and potential of Pharmacometrics and Systems Pharmacology outside the disciplines, introduce methodology to newcomers interested in model-based approaches, and provide further training and specialized guides to those already working in the field. The open-access format ofCPT:PSP also provides an excellent platform byallowing efficient distribution to researchers worldwide. For most Tutorials, model code and example datasets will be available as supplementary material, allowing readers to practice the case studies ‘hands-on’. More Tutorials will become available this year, the next one on Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetics (PBPK). New articles are published weekly atwww.nature.com/psp Kind regards, Piet van der Graaf, Editor-in Chief Lena Friberg, Deputy Editor-in-Chief CPT: Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology (CPT:PSP) [email protected]
