THREE BIG THINGS THIS WEEK
All changes to the code that are going to happen for the CIE Review must happen this week. Time-varying selectivity and time-varying weight-at-age inputs might make it in :crossed_fingers:. Next week will be focused on updating the case studies.
Nathan and Andrea are working on a PR to increase the usability of the random effects in FIMS.
We have addressed the comments we received on the FIMS manuscript from reviewers and it is time to do a final round of edits. The manuscript and the responses to reviewers are on Google Drive. Please provide all comments by March 18, 2026 so we can return the manuscript to ICES by March 19, 2026.
FIMS ANNOUNCEMENTS
- 43 days until the CIE Review.
- We will be paring the rendered case studies down to just three, or four, examples for the CIE Review to ensure that they are fully developed and provide well-explained examples of comparisons of FIMS models to existing platforms. The remainder of the examples will stay in the repository but will not be showcased on the resulting website. This work will happen next week.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK
Bai recently experimented with using quarto to write a manuscript and found the template for Elsevier Journals easy to use. All the code is on GitHub and you can implement the template in your own repo with the following, single, line of code within a terminal. Quarto also provides templates for other journals and information regarding how to use templates on their website. Thank you Bai for sharing.
