SciCom documentation

Simulating various aspects of scientific communication via Agent-based models.

The development is part of the research project ModelSEN Socio-epistemic networks: Modelling Historical Knowledge Processes, part of Department I of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science and funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Germany (Grant No. 01 UG2131).
