> Dear colleagues,
> (please distribute)
>
> Modeling and simulation is one tool to help better understand the
> causes and predict the behaviour of the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe
> that models from the COMBINE community need to be made available as
> quickly as possible in highest quality.
>
> To support the community, we applied for (and received) funding from
> the EOSC Fast track program. Until November 2020, we offer you support
> in publishing your model-based results as reproducible, curated and
> annotated COMBINE archives in a BioModels special collection for COVID
> 19.
>
> Modelers will gain guidance on how to provide their model code as
> COMBINE archives. For example, we publish examples of fully featured
> COMBINE archives, offer Q&A sessions and online consultation. We also
> work on technical issues with the libraries and software tools needed
> to build COMBINE archives. Curators at BioModels offer a „fast track
> to publication“ for COVID-19 models, putting highest priority to
> curation of the models and making them available through different
> channels (BioModels website, twitter, mailing lists) and in related
> communities and standardisation bodies.
>
> Please contact us if you need help building a COMBINE Archive, if you
> want your model to appear in the BioModels collection, or if you run
> into problems using libraries, tools and ontologies needed to build
> COVID archives.
> Further information is available on our website at:

> We are looking forward to working with you.
