<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Simbios has built a new publication repository that highlights
publications and links them to the research data and software behind
them. While publications are the principal means for sharing research
results, making the <span class=apple-style-span>code, the data and
parameter files available will maximize the impact of your
publication and allow others to reproduce and build upon your research.</span>
</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>The repository is built upon Simtk.org, and we hope that it will become
a central site for Simbios researchers and others working in physics-based
simulation of biological structures to share everything (the tools, data,
instructions,…) needed to replicate their published research. We
envision this new resource enhancing the research process, providing all the
material needed to jump start other studies, enabling new discoveries in the
field, and increasing your citations.</span></font></p>
