N1 - Funding Information: The past decade has seen a movement to promote open sharing of data and software that underlie scientific research by adopting a set of "FAIR" principles [Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability (1)]. Yet, a recent study of nearly 8,000 articles on model-based research from 1990 through 2018, listed in ISI Web of Science, found that a majority do not make the model code available (Fig. 1) (2). Even for the most recent articles in the study, more than 80% do not provide access to the model code. Researchers share the results of model-based research in peer-reviewed journals, following widely understood and accepted scientific norms. But there are no equivalent formal or informal standards within the scientific community for how model code should be made available, which model version should be shared, how the code should be documented, or how it should be packaged—so that it can be run effectively, be compiled if needed, or coupled with other models to represent interacting social and natural processes. A growing number of journals now recommend or require that authors make available data on which research is based. Funding agencies, including the US National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and Department of Agriculture, now require data management plans, as do EU science funding agencies. Some steps have been taken to adapt FAIR principles to research software (3–5) but the community, including editors and funders, still have no guidelines on how to apply them to model code.
