Recently<\/a>, I have become quite fond of open publishing procedures, and am already looking at open publishing outlets such as PLOS One<\/a>, F1000Research<\/a> and Science Open<\/a>. For some publications, however, the standard outlets should work just fine. So we went to J. Appl. Cryst.<\/a> for our latest “software” publication on the Monte Carlo method, McSAS<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The results of applying McSAS to the demo data included. Click to see the full details.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The manuscript has, of course, also been uploaded to the arXiv<\/a> preprint server and is available here<\/a>. Please have a look at it if you are interested in extracting distributions of a variety of models from SAS data.<\/p>\n

Unbeknownst to us at the time of submission (I know, I should have more carefully read the guidelines for authors), “software” papers should be accompanied by user statements declaring that the software is useful and adequately documented. I am now hunting some users of the software willing to spend some time downloading the latest version (latest on the “restructuring”-branch<\/a>), and willing to test it and write such a statement, though Christmas time is always a bit busy for many.<\/p>\n

Until then, the manuscript is in the “not quite fully submitted”-state. Nevertheless, the manuscript is available and open for comments, and I would be very happy to hear about the experience from you to know what you would like to see in the future.<\/p>\n

The code has been drastically reworked thanks to the fantastic efforts of Ingo Bre\u00dfler<\/a>, as evidenced on the blog posts on this blog and the extensive version history. The core code remained somewhat the same, but there is a fantastic user interface around it now that should make it much easier to use.<\/p>\n

There is a quick start guide included in the “doc” directory included with the distribution, which contains a step-by-step guide to the GUI and some demonstration data. If there is anything missing in that, please tell me and I will include it.<\/p>\n

A compiled version will appear shortly, and it is now only a few very minor issues away from becoming version 1.0<\/p>\n
