Short description of the research:
This dataset belongs to a publication related to a conference presentation at the International Symposium on Models for Plant Growth, Environments, Farm Management in Orchards and Protected Cultivation - HorchiModel 2023, Almería, Spain. A review of recent literature related to process based greenhouse modelling, based on the work in Katzin, Van Henten, Van Mourik (2022, Agricultural Systems, [2]), was presented. A new Web of Science (www.webofscience.com) search was performed, as well as a synthesis of several recently published reviews related to process based greenhouse modelling.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA
-----------------------

Web of Science search:

In order to quantify the number of published articles related to greenhouse modelling, a Web of Science (www.webofscience.com) search was performed on 9 June 2023, for articles with the topic: 
	“(“greenhouse model*” OR “greenhouse simulation*” OR (greenhouse* AND (“yield model*” OR “thermal model*” OR “heating model*” OR “yield simulation*” OR “thermal simulation*” OR “heating simulation*” OR “optimal control”)) NOT (“greenhouse gas*” OR “greenhouse emission*” OR “greenhouse effect*”))”.
This topic was selected to exclude irrelevant studies. See [2] for more details.

The results of this search were exported and saved in the following files, placed in the Data subfolder:
	- "Web of science results.xlsx": the results in an Excel format, including some figures generated in Excel
	- "Web of science results.csv": a CSV version of "Web of science results.xlsx"
	- "Web of science results.mat": a MATLAB data file containing the information in "Web of science results.xlsx". Specifically, this file denotes for each year between 1955-2025, the number of papers published on that year found by the Web of Science search.
	- "Web of science - published papers.csv": a CSV files containing only the number of papers published per year (cells Y6-Z76 in "Web of science results.xlsx")
	
Synthesis of review papers:

Seven review papers focusing on greenhouse modelling were chosen as a reference indicating the number of available greenhouse models at the time of each paper's publication. The 7 papers were:

	SUBFOLDER "DATA"
	----------------
	The following files in the Data subfolder contain this information:
		- "Summary of review papers.xlsx" contains in Sheet1, for each review paper above, a list of the greenhouse models included in the review, and the year of publication of that model. The second sheet of the file contains the same list, with duplicate entries for the same greenhouse models removed, and some related figures.
		- "Summary of review papers.csv" is a CSV copy of Sheet1 from Summary of review papers.xlsx
		- "Summary of review papers - delete duplicates.csv" is a CSV copy of the second sheet from Summary of review papers.xlsx
		- "Summary of review papers.mat" contains the relevant information from Summary of review papers.xlsx, namely, it contains for each 5 year period between 1955-2015, how many models were found in this syntehesis and published within this period (see [1] for more details).
		- "Summary of review papers - published models.csv": a CSV file containing only the number of models published in each 5-year period (cells E1-R2 in "Summary of review papers - delete duplicates.csv")
		
	SUBFOLDER "SCRIPT"
	------------------
		- main.py contains a Python script, which was run with Python 3.10 to generate the figures included in the manuscript [1]
		- requirements.txt is a list of the requirements needed to run the script. Run "pip install -r requirements.txt" to install these requirement
		
	SUBFOLDER "FIGURES"
	-------------------
		- papersPublished.png: Figure 1 in the manuscript [1]: Numbers of published studies related to greenhouse modelling each year
		- modelsPublished.png: Figure 2 in the manuscript [1]: Number of newly developed greenhouse models in each 5-year period between 1956 and 2020.
