The goal of this US National Science Foundation Network is to create a community of practice for the free exchange of knowledge about computational modeling in these fields. </div><div><br></div><div>One of the important initiatives of CoMSES Net is the development of a Computational Modeling Library (CML) where researchers can post code so that the broader scientific community can better build on prior work. It is equally important that such code be properly cited when it is used so that the author can receive credit for her/his work. We have established a statement of ethical use for those joining the network and are planning to establish review criteria, and provide permanent handles for all published model code. We are working with journals to get them to require the publishing of scientific code in the CML or other similar repository if a paper is accepted for publication.</div><div><br></div><div>This is not GIS per se, but fits with the larger movement to make scientific computing more open. If anyone in the GRASS community is interested in this initiative, I want to encourage them to visit the CoMSES Net main site at <<a href="http://www.openabm.org">http://www.openabm.org</a>> and join the growing network.</div><div><br></div><div>Michael</div><div><br><div><div>On Apr 22, 2012, at 10:00 AM, <<a href="mailto:grass-user-request@lists.osgeo.org">grass-user-request@lists.osgeo.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; color: rgb(127, 127, 127); "><b>From:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; ">Markus Neteler <<a href="mailto:neteler@osgeo.org">neteler@osgeo.org</a>><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; color: rgb(127, 127, 127); "><b>Subject:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; "><b>[GRASS-user] Let the four freedoms paradigm apply to ecology (Letter to TREE)</b><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; color: rgb(127, 127, 127); "><b>Date:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; ">April 21, 2012 11:47:57 AM MDT<br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; color: rgb(127, 127, 127); "><b>To:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; ">OSGeo-discuss <<a href="mailto:discuss@lists.osgeo.org">discuss@lists.osgeo.org</a>><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; color: rgb(127, 127, 127); "><b>Cc:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; ">GRASS user list <<a href="mailto:grass-user@lists.osgeo.org">grass-user@lists.osgeo.org</a>>, OSGeo-edu <<a href="mailto:edu_discuss@lists.osgeo.org">edu_discuss@lists.osgeo.org</a>><br></span></div><br><br>Hi,<br><br>we managed to publish a letter in Trends in Ecology & Evolution:<br><br>Rocchini, D., Neteler, M.
