-This book contains example documentation and open working for a computer simulation model. The model is a based on the treatment centre example in Nelson [1]. The model is implemented in `python` and `simpy`.
+This book contains example enhanced documentation and open working for a discrete-event simulation model. The model is a based on the treatment centre example in Nelson [1]. The model is implemented in `python` and `simpy`.
 
-The book covers the following aspects of open working for simulation:
+##   Towards Sharing Tools and Artifacts for Reuable Simulation: example enhanced documentation for a `simpy` model. 
 
-* Sharing your model code and parameters with other researchers and simulation modellers.
-* An example of documenting your model using the STRESS reporting checklist (for DES).
-* Providing a simple executable version of your model for other to verify results.
+The materials and methods in this repository support work towards developing the S.T.A.R.S healthcare framework (**S**haring **T**ools and **A**rtifacts for **R**eusable **S**imulations in healthcare).  The code and written materials here demonstrate the application of S.T.A.R.S' version 1 to sharing a `simpy` discrete-event simuilation model and associated research artifacts.  
 
-## Contributors
+* All artifacts in this repository are linked to study researchers via ORCIDs;
+* Model code is made available under a MIT license;
+* Python dependencies are managed through `conda`;`
+* The python code itself can be viewed and executed in Jupyter notebooks via [Binder](https://mybinder.org); 
+* The model is documented and explained in a [Jupyter book website](https://pythonhealthdatascience.github.io/stars-simpy-examplar-docs) served up by GitHub pages;
+* The materials are deposited and made citatable using Zenodo;
+* The models are sharable with other researchers and the NHS without the need to install software.
