Article: Academics, please publish your data and code

Academic research papers can be a valuable source of material for creating and improving real world optimization models. But we wish that academics would publish working code and data to accompany their papers.

In this article:
- Firstly, we briefly look at some reasons why academics might be reluctant to publish their data and code.
- Then we replicate, modify, and explore a published model that has been done well, with the data and program code publicly available.

Solver Max - Academics, please publish your data and code

We explore the reasons why academics do not publish their model code and data, illustrated by an example of academic published done well.

@SolverMax Funny enough, I was actually speaking to a student this afternoon about porting some gurobi districting codes to use HiGHS instead! Nice to see it can be done without too much trouble
@AustinLBuchanan I wouldn't have tried without having access to existing code and data. Thanks for making the data and code available.
