Abstract: The acceptance and usefulness of simulation models are often limited by the efficiency, transparency, reproducibility, and reliability of the modelling process. We address these issues by suggesting that modellers (1) “trace” the iterative modelling process by keeping a modelling notebook corresponding to the laboratory notebooks used by empirical researchers, (2) use a standardized notebook… Read More Good practice: TRACE – the equivalent of a lab notebook for modellers

Starting with a nice illustration as to the difference between alchemy and chemistry (the former was conducted in secret), leading to a critique of a similar situation with Big Data and how this is used by big internet corporations. Available at: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000q3sr
