  Recent studies have shown that the majority of published computational models
in systems biology and physiology are not repeatable or reproducible. There are
a variety of reasons for this. One of the most likely reasons is that given how
busy modern researchers are and the fact that no credit is given to authors for
publishing repeatable work, it is inevitable that this will be the case. The
situation can only be rectified when government agencies, universities and
other research institutions change policies and that journals begin to insist
that published work is in fact at least repeatable if not reproducible. In this
chapter guidelines are described that can be used by researchers to help make
sure their work is repeatable. A scoring system is suggested that authors can
use to determine how well they are doing.
