How to find literature on ABM simulation using Mesa for learning?

[Decade-rider]

Is there a section like the one on the NetLogo homepage that showcases literature on modeling and simulation using Mesa?

Sorry for the very late reply. @projectmesa/maintainers, we should do better on this.

The foundational literature is identical, ABM = ABM, no matter the programming language.

I think this section provides some useful references: https://github.com/projectmesa/mesa/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#im-a-developer-but-not-a-modeller. It lists two MOOCs and our examples, among other resources.

For literature that uses Mesa, check out who cited our papers:

• 2015 paper: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=4369546166472446068
• 2020 paper: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=13324256536323572907
• 2025 paper: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=11551206740622120985

It might be interesting to compile an overview of this.

I have been meaning to add this to the docs -- I will get on it.
