The range of tools designed to help build agent-based models is briefly reviewed. It is suggested that although progress has been made, there is much further design and development work to be done. Modelers have an important part to play, because the creation of tools and models using those tools proceed in a dialectical relationship.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 April 2023.
All research outputs
#9,526,254
of 34,517,649 outputs
Outputs from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#75,089
of 119,103 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#71,943
of 178,814 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#390
of 639 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,517,649 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 119,103 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 40.1. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 178,814 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 639 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
