A more open future for nuclear research
A growing number of institutional, national, and funder mandates are requiring researchers to make their published work immediately publicly accessible, through either open repositories or open access (OA) publications. In addition, both private and public funders are developing policies, such as those from the Office of Science and Technology Policy and the European Commission, that ask researchers to make publicly available at the time of publication as much of their underlying data and other materials as possible. These, combined with movement in the scientific community toward embracing open science principles (seen, for example, in the dramatic rise of preprint servers like arXiv), demonstrate a need for a different kind of publishing outlet.

The TMAP code has been upgraded to version 7, which includes radioactive decay along with many features implemented in prior versions. Pursuant to acceptance and release for distribution, the code was exercised in a variety of problem types to demonstrate that it provides results in agreement with theoretical results for cases where those are available. It has also been used to model certain experimental results. In this paper, the capabilities of the TMAP7 code are demonstrated by presenting some of the results from the verification and validation process.
