In particular, the use and development of software tools is becoming vital for investigating scientific hypotheses, and a wide range of scientists are finding software development playing a more central role in their day-to-day research. In fields such as biology and ecology, there has been a noticeable trend towards the use of quantitative methods for both making sense of ever-increasing amounts of data [1] and building or selecting models [2].}, publisher = {PLoS Computational Biology (Public Library of Science Computational Biology),}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/ten-simple-rules-for-effective-computational-research/}, pages = {e1003506}, journal = {PLoS Computational Biology}, }
