Recent studies on electrostatic models have raised questions regarding whether the simulated dielectric constant requires post-hoc corrections. These studies posit that the effective electrostatic moments used to compute the MM interactions of ions and polar species should be reduced with respect to the physical charges used to compute electrostatic properties, due to the dielectric screening caused by the electronic polarization of the medium. This implies that the dielectric constant computed from the partial charges in the force field should be increased by a correction prior to comparing with experiment, or conversely, the experimental value should be reduced prior to making the comparison with the force field.
