Clarify curation notes to elaborate on the associated COPASI tasks(s) #126

Open jonrkarr opened 2 years ago

This is feedback for the BioModels team.

Example: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biomodels/BIOMD0000000927

The curation note for this simply says:

Reproducing Figure 1b. The model has been curated using Copasi 4.27

Because COPASI doesn't clear track the task(s) that the are intended to be run, its not always immediately obvious to naive users which tasks they should run to reproduce published figures, or figures displayed in the curation notes. This is particularly the case for tasks other than time courses, such as parameter scans. Naive users will likely think that the image in the curation notes corresponds to a time course simulation, but this isn't always the case.

There are 2 options in COPASI that would help to make this clearer:

As for the specific case, here it is the scan that should be run.
