Guides to Good Practice

We strive to foster and support good practices for developing and disseminating open and reproducible computational models. If you have any suggestions or corrections to make, please let us know.

Other organizations focused on improving computational literacy and practices:

Agent-based model development

  • Keep your models simple
  • Document your models using ODD or equivalent documentation protocol
  • Consider carefully how to evaluate and validate your model’s outputs. Make sure you do a proper sensitivity analysis!
  • Structure your model into coherent modules where possible with well-defined inputs and outputs between modules.
