Submit a Model
M@TE accepts model submissions via GitHub. To submit your geoscientific model, open an issue in the submission repository:
π Model Submission Repository
Use the structured issue template to provide metadata about your model, including:
- Model title, abstract, and description
- Creator ORCID identifiers
- Associated publication DOI
- Software used
- Research tags
- Links to model files (code, inputs, outputs)
Submissions are currently by invitation only as M@TE is being intentional about showcasing a diverse and representative set of models.
