@terrytangyuan sorry for the double ask, but this one looks well-suited for you to edit as well. Do you have bandwidth to edit another submission?

[terrytangyuan]

@whedon assign @terrytangyuan as editor

[whedon]

OK, the editor is @terrytangyuan

👋 @martinju if you have any suggestions for potential reviewers then please mention them here in this thread. In addition, this list of people have already agreed to review for JOSS and may be suitable for this submission.

[martinju]

Thank you for opening this review. I suggest the following reviewers: expectopatronum, hiendn, ja-thomas, kdpeterson51, road2stat​

[terrytangyuan]

👋 @expectopatronum, @hiendn, @ja-thomas, @kdpeterson51, @nanxstats if you would like to review for this submission, please let us know here!

[ja-thomas]

My colleague @christophM could do the review, he works as a researcher in interpretable machine learning.

[christophM]

It seems like a good match. Let me know if I can help you review this paper.

[hiendn]

I think that @frycast would be perfect as a reviewer for this paper. He is currently working on a Shapley values project of his own!

[terrytangyuan]

@whedon add @christophM as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @christophM is now a reviewer

[terrytangyuan]

Thanks @hiendn. @frycast Would you like to review this submission? If anyone else wants to get involved, please confirm here as well.

[terrytangyuan]

@whedon remove @christophM as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @christophM is no longer a reviewer

[terrytangyuan]

@ja-thomas There's potential conflict of interest according to @christophM so I am removing him for now. @ja-thomas Would you like to review this instead?

[martinju]

DOI's should be fine now. @terrytangyuan do you need more help to find potential reviewers?

[frycast]

Hi @terrytangyuan and @martinju . I'm more than happy to review this.

[martinju]

@terrytangyuan If possible I would really appreciate getting the review rolling soon. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to speed up the process. For instance, do you need help to find more potential reviewers?

[terrytangyuan]

@whedon assign @frycast as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, the reviewer is @frycast

[terrytangyuan]

We just need another reviewer now

[martinju]

@ja-thomas There's potential conflict of interest according to @christophM so I am removing him for now. @ja-thomas Would you like to review this instead?

@ja-thomas ?

[martinju]

@terrytangyuan Since ja-thomas does not seem to answer I am suggesting a new list of potential reviewers:

expectopatronum, agisga, schalkdaniel, robohyun66, road2stat, ajank

[terrytangyuan]

@martinju Thanks. @robohyun66 @ajank @agisga Would any of you be willing to review for this submission?

[martinju]

Apparently no response from any of those either. Here are a couple of more suggestions: bahung, ati-ozgur, asntech, alessandroBombelli, Aguang, tianxzhu, dirmeier, zaxtax

[expectopatronum]

I am sorry for the very late response. I would be willing to do a review starting in February, before that I have deadlines.

[terrytangyuan]

@whedon add @expectopatronum as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @expectopatronum is now a reviewer

[terrytangyuan]

@whedon start review

[whedon]

OK, I've started the review over in https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/2027. Feel free to close this issue now!

[terrytangyuan]

Thanks everyone! Please head over to #2027 for the review!
