Calibration approaches are commonly used in infectious disease modeling, but there has been little study to describe the use of these techniques within the field. Furthermore, R is increasingly used by epidemiologists to understand disease dynamics. As part of a larger scoping review investigating the distribution of calibration methods for models of HIV, TB, and malaria, we will collect data on programming languages and packages/libraries cited in published manuscripts. We aim to identify with which calibration strategies R is most commonly used and ultimately identify any gaps in and potential for development in the available calibration packages within R. We also aim to identify any association with disease, model goal, and or reducibility.
