Hello, @kirui93! There are some details on the paper:

• For the reference Høyland, K., & Wallace, S. W. (2001), there is a typo on the name of the journal (Management Science). Also, the DOI for this paper seems to be mistyped: I believe the correct number is 10.1287/mnsc.47.2.295.9834. Can you check this, please?
• For the reference Kovacevic, R. M., & Pichler, A. (2015) you should include a volume number (in this case, 235).
• For the reference Pflug, G. C., & Pichler, A. (2016), there is an extra subtitle that is not listed in the published version of the paper (here https://epubs.siam.org/doi/10.1137/15M1043376). Can you please check this?
• Finally, for some references there are Volume and Issue listed, and other not. Could you make sure that the references are standardized? Ideally, all references should have an issue number if applicable.

Thank you!

Hello, @melissawm , Thank you so much for the corrections. I think it was a typo for most of them but I have corrected them.

Many thanks.

@jarvist would you be willing to review this software paper for JOSS? Thank you!

It's well outside my area of expertise, but I am happy to review as a naive user. I have quite a few academic commitments at the moment, so it may take a while to fit this review in.

[ChrisRackauckas]

I'll pass on this for now, but if it's still looking for reviewers in February let me know. It is outside of my expertise though.

[melissawm]

Thank you for responding, @ChrisRackauckas ! I'll try to ask someone else then.

@jarvist if you prefer we can contact someone else, just let me know.

@kirui93 do you have suggestions for reviewers?
