A task that is already mandatory to contribute on high-level international reports such as those elaborated by the Intergovernmental Pannel of Climate Change (IPCC) while necessary in the daily work of collaborative projects where different tools are applied to solve the same research question. The present `wiliamcformat` library aims to adapt and extend the potential of existing material for users of a novel integrated assessment model, WILIAM. A pending task that has not been documented before although the urgency for improving transparency and responsability of this model to meet open-science principles (FAIR [@Wilkinson2016] and TRUST [@Lin2020]), as well as usability. Furthermore, we hope the contents will help to move students closer to climate change science. # Statement of need -Integrated assessment models (IAMs) have been used for a wide range of problems in the climate change field. From generating -consensus to identify key parameters and complex feedbacks on future between the world economies and nature [@Sarofim2011]. -However, [@Wilson2021] highlight that IAM evaluation should improve interpretability of results to communicate insights, credibility -as producers of knowledge under a 'sceptical review', and relevance of modelling analysis for informing scientific understanding -to policymakers and stakeholders. A challenge that may be achieved (at least partially) with model inter-comparisons, which are -mostly used to compare outputs and insights to explore uncertainties, and diagnostics, which proposes descriptive indicators -to explain characteristics of the performance in terms of model structure and assumptions. +Integrated assessment models (IAMs) have been used for a wide range of problems in the climate change field.
