STARS: Computational reproducibility of Anagnostou et al. 2022 STARS

DOI Valid CITATION.cff

This repository forms part of work package 1 on the project STARS: Sharing Tools and Artefacts for Reproducible Simulations. It assesses the computational reproducibility of:

Anagnostou, A. Groen, D. Taylor, S. Suleimenova, D. Abubakar, N. Saha, A. Mintram, K. Ghorbani, M. Daroge, H. Islam, T. Xue, Y. Okine, E. Anokye, N. FACS-CHARM: A Hybrid Agent-Based and Discrete-Event Simulation Approach for Covid-19 Management at Regional Level. 2022 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC), Singapore, pp. 1223-1234. (2022). https://doi.org/10.1109/WSC57314.2022.10015462.

Note: This reproduction just focuses on the "CHARM" model from this paper.

Key sections: These folders have all the content related to the original study and reproduction...

  • original_study/ - Original study materials (i.e. journal article, supplementary material, code and any other research artefacts).
  • reproduction/ - Reproduction of the simulation model. Once complete, this functions as a research compendium for the model, containing all the code, parameters, outputs and documentation.
  • evaluation/ - Quarto documents from the evaluation of computational reproducibility. This includes the scope, assessment of reproduction success, and comparison of the original study materials against various guidelines, and summary report.
  • logbook/ - Daily record of work on this repository.

Other sections: The remaining files and folders support creation of the Quarto site to share the reproduction, or are other files important to the repository (e.g. README, LICENSE, .gitignore)...

  • .github/workflows/ - GitHub actions.
  • quarto_site/ - A Quarto website is used to share information from this repository (including the original study, reproduced model, and reproducibility evaluation). This folder contains any additional files required for creation of the site that do not otherwise belong in the other folders.
  • .gitignore - Untracked files.
  • CHANGELOG.md - Description of changes between GitHub releases and the associated versions on Zenodo.
  • CITATION.cff - Instructions for citing this repository, created using CFF INIT.
  • CONTRIBUTING.md - Contribution instructions for repository.
  • LICENSE - Details of the license for this work.
  • README.md - Description for this repository. You'll find a seperate README for the model within the reproduction/ folder, and potentially also the original_study/ folder if a README was created by the original study authors.
  • _quarto.yml - Set-up instructions for the Quarto website.
  • citation_apalike.bib - APA citation generated from CITATION.cff.
  • citation_bibtex.bib - Bibtex citation generated from CITATION.cff.
  • index.qmd - Home page for the Quarto website.
  • requirements.txt - Environment for creation of Quarto site (used by .github/workflows/quarto_publish.yaml).
