On Sept 29^th, 2020, the Journal of Translational Medicine published the article "Credible practice of modeling and simulation in healthcare: ten rules from a multidisciplinary perspective"  (Erdemir, A., Mulugeta, L., Ku, J.P. et al. Credible practice of modeling and simulation in healthcare: ten rules from a multidisciplinary perspective. J Transl Med 18, 369 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12967-020-02540-4).  The credible practice guidelines outlined in the article have been adopted and tested by the National Institute of Health (NIH) sponsored Interagency Modeling and Analysis Group’s (IMAG).   The Committee on Credible Practice of Models and Simulations in Healthcare, a multi-agency and multi-institution working group consisting of 3 government agencies (NASA, FDA, NIH), 5 academic institutions, and 2 industrial partners, combined and curated the contributions for this article.
