Thoughts on early‑career researchers publishing purely computational simulat...
Research Idea
Simulation‑only papers contain no real‑world measured experimental validation. These works can explore theoretical parameter space efficiently. But some reviewers hold sceptical attitudes toward simulation‑only manuscripts. What value and limitations do you see for pure simulation publications?

Well‑designed simulation work can expose interesting theoretical behaviours inaccessible via physical experiment.

Readers must keep in mind results are constrained by built‑in simulation assumptions.

Simulation‑only manuscripts benefit from explicit discussion of model assumption limits.

Combining simulation together with real‑world validation will always strengthen impact further.
