Yes but question is not whether data is necessary overall, but necessary for a given unit of publication?

So it’s a paper that isn’t about modelling behaviour. No behavioural data required then. Joshua is talking about behavioural modelling
-
Neural data then. Why is behaviour special?
-
You’re trying to model the behaviour of a system. Neural, behavioural, it’s all data about the system
-
Not all modelling is primarily/directly "trying to model the behaviour of a system" some modelling is the encapsulation of theoretical principles into executable code. Similar but not identical goals.
-
Sure. But that’s not what Joshua was asking about, I didn’t think
-
I think it is. I guess he can clarify.

-
Same difference for me. Modeling behaviour of a system = formalising the principles according to which the system works = encapsulating theoretical principles (code not required)
-
I have linked to a paper (preprint) that just got accepted which only has modelling and the modelling is of psychological behaviors. What's wrong with it and why do you think it's misplaced as a paper? Amusingly the peer reviewers thought it was flawless:https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/936995935594467328 …

Another one that is just a model — a preprint: https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.04640

But yeah, I have only one (and not first author) where there is empirical data. All my other work is modelling and theory.
