Automating literature screening and curation with applications to computational neuroscience

ModelDB (https://modeldb.science) is a discovery platform for computational neuroscience, containing over 1850 published model codes with standardized metadata. These codes were mainly supplied from unsolicited model author submissions, but this approach is inherently limited. For example, we estimate we have captured only around one-third of NEURON models, the most common type of models in ModelDB. To more completely characterize the state of computational neuroscience modeling work, we aim to identify works containing results derived from computational neuroscience approaches and their standardized associated metadata (eg, cell types, research topics).
