title: Reporting inquiry in simulation.
abstract: The term "inquiry" covers the large spectrum of what people are currently doing in the nascent field of simulation. This monograph proposes appropriate means of dissemination for the many different levels of inquiry that may arise from the Summit or other sources of inspiration. We discuss various methods of inquiry and where they might fit in the hierarchy of reporting and dissemination. We provide guidance for deciding whether an inquiry has reached the level of development required for publication in a peer-reviewed journal and conclude with a discussion of what most journals view as inquiry acceptable for publication.
