The ODD protocol: A review and first update (2010, methodology): “These criticisms motivated the ODD (Overview, Design concepts, Details) protocol (Grimm et al., 2006), which attempted to create a generic format and a standard structure by which all ABMs could be documented.”
A Lagrangian tool for modelling ichthyoplankton dynamics (2008, methodology): “The model description follows the Overview-DesignDetails (ODD) protocol for describing individual- and agentbased models (Grimm et al., 2006) and consists of seven elements.”
Species in a dynamic world: Consequences of habitat network dynamics on conservation planning (2012, background): “Moreover, the results of Groeneveld et al. (2008) suggest a higher probability of species persistence when fires are large than when fires are patchy; because they changed both the spatial and temporal treatments in combination, it is difficult to differentiate the effects of an individual treatment”
A Third Wave in the Economics of Climate Change (2015, background): “Well-definedmodelling practices and approaches are still being developed, and where guidelines and standards have been proposed, they are often not widely accepted or adhered to (Grimm et al. 2006, 2010; Richiardi et al. 2006; Grimm and Railsback 2012).”
Characterising performance of environmental models (2013, background): “In order to keep track of model changes, reflect on its context and communicate its purpose to new users, it may help to document the model description in a standardised way, such as that described by Grimm et al. (2006, 2010).”
GEMINI: a Grassland Model Simulating the Role of Plant Traits for Community Dynamics and Ecosystem F (2012, methodology): “The model is described following the ODD (Overview, Design concepts and Details) standard protocol proposed by Grimm et al. (2006) for individual-based and agent-based models.”
A standard protocol for reporting species distribution models (2020, methodology): “A standard protocol for reporting individual-based and agent-based models (IBM/ABM) was introduced more than a decade ago: the ODD protocol (Overview, Design concepts, Details; Grimm et al. 2006).”
Tutorial on agent-based modeling and simulation (2005, neutral): “Grimm et al (2006) present a proposed standard protocol for describing agent-based and related models as a first step for establishing a more detailed common format.”
What are the key drivers of spread in invasive plants: dispersal, demography or landscape: and how can we use this knowledge to aid management? (2011, methodology): “We describe the simulation using Grimm et al.’s (2006) ‘‘Overview, Design concepts and Details’’ format.”
Agent-Based Modeling in Public Health: Current Applications and Future Directions (2018, methodology): “Many ABM studies in public health follow the ODD (overview, design concepts, and details) protocol in describing the methods used (45, 46; for examples, see the supplementary materials of References 10 and 12), and we agree that this aids in understanding what was done in a particular simulation…”
