this article is needed to be able to include Sim4Life and S4Llite in the List of computer simulation software PLBounds (talk) 08:33, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reference 1 is the ARAMIS page regarding the orginal funding of the Sim4Life project. Reference 2 is about the funding of S4L-CAPITALIS, an extension of the Sim4Life Platform. Reference 12 is the webpage of the NIH SPARC portal describing the connection between o2S2PARC and S4LLite.

We hope that this article will soon be accepted as the latest version of the platform was released a few days ago. PLBounds (talk) 15:49, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Response to Comment: "This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed." This draft is for wiki-linking to List of computer simulation software. The description of Sim4Life does not sound more "promotional" than other entries in that list. I have been editing to remove descriptive words that might be perceived as promotional, but sometimes such words are needed to give an adequate description. The first 2 citations are links to the project pages of the Swiss government agency that funded the original research to develop the platform. Reference 13 is to the NIH SPARC online platform that has been developing in tandem with Sim4Life for about the last 8 years. These 3 references, listed above as the WP:THREE best sources, are truly independent. Most of the other citations in this draft are to independent research papers where the lead writers/researchers are not employed by ZMT Zurich MedTech. In only one case, Reference 12, a few of the co-authors are employees of ZMT Zurich MedTech, included as is common practice in scientific collaborations. Please check some of the other entries in the List of computer simulation software and reconsider acceptance. PLBounds (talk) 13:55, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
