Computable knowledge artifacts can greatly advance the potential for implementation, reproducibility, or extension of the knowledge by users, who may include practitioners, researchers, and learners. Enriching computable knowledge artifacts may help facilitate reuse and translation into practice. Following the examples of 10 Simple Rules papers for scientific code, software, and applications, we present 10 Simple Rules intended to make shared computable knowledge artifacts more useful and reusable. These rules are mainly for researchers and their teams who have decided that sharing their computable knowledge is important, who wish to go beyond simply describing results, algorithms, or models via traditional publication pathways, and who want to both make their research findings more accessible, and to help others use their computable knowledge. These rules are roughly organized into 3 categories: planning, engineering, and documentation. Finally, while many of the following examples are of computable knowledge in biomedical domains, these rules are generalizable to computable knowledge in any research domain.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pcbi.1012179","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,20]],"date-time":"2024-06-20T17:21:33Z","timestamp":1718904093000},"page":"e1012179","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pcbi.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Ten simple rules to make computable knowledge shareable and reusable"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7377-163X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Marisa L.","family":"Conte","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Boisvert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8099-8506","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Philip","family":"Barrison","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Farid","family":"Seifi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Zach","family":"Landis-Lewis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Allen","family":"Flynn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Charles P.","family":"Friedman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"pcbi.1012179.ref001","unstructured":"Mobilizing Computable Biomedical Knowledge (MCBK).
