If, on September 1st 2026, it is still a consensus view that charmm36m is one of, if not the, best choice of forcefield for new projects in point-charge molecular dynamics (MD).

I will resolve by reading the latest two available issues of JCTC on closure date, and will consider it Yes, if over 30% of the article regarding point-charge MD and specifying the forcefield in the method section, use charmm36m, and, among all forcefield mentioned, charmm36m is 1st or 2nd in term of frequency.

Derivative that reparametrize anything regarding protein will not count as charmm36m. Reparametrization of ion still counts as OG c36m. Change of water model - without protein reparametrization - counts as charmm36m.

In case of ambuigity, I will discuss in the comments, and reserve the right to resolve N/A.
