The braces around the author name are required. Without them, BibTeX reads "Open Systems Pharmacology" as given names and "Community" as a surname, and renders the author as "O. S. P. Community".

This manual documents how to use the software. It is not a description of the software platform itself, nor of the models it implements. To cite the platform, use Lippert et al. (2019) instead of, or in addition to, this manual:

Lippert J, Burghaus R, Edginton A, et al. Open Systems Pharmacology Community - An Open Access, Open Source, Open Science Approach to Modeling and Simulation in Pharmaceutical Sciences. CPT Pharmacometrics Syst Pharmacol. 2019;8(12):878-882.

Publications describing the individual models, methods, and parameters used by the suite are collected in References, and are cited from the sections of this manual that rely on them.
