Hi @oliviaguest! Some help for reviewers: I suggest Bernát Kocsis (bernat_kocsis@hms.harvard.edu, https://sleep.med.harvard.edu/people/faculty/154/Bernat+Kocsis+MD+PhD) and Péter Barthó (peter.bartho@gmail.com, http://www.ttk.hu/en/phonebook/peter-bartho). From your list maybe sappelhoff, TomDonoghue, and ixjlyons. Hope this help. Best, Tamás Kiss (teamPSG)

[oliviaguest]

Hi @teamPSG — thank you, this is very useful. I have sent a few emails off, once I get replies (or enough times passes) I'll decide if I should ask any of these people too. Much appreciated. 😊

[oliviaguest]

@whedon add @Emma-k-ward as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @Emma-k-ward is now a reviewer

[oliviaguest]

@teamPSG I have tried your suggestions and sadly none of them have replied. I'm struggling a bit and have contacted over 10 people. If you have any more suggestions that would definitely help hurry this along.

[teamPSG]

Hi @oliviaguest! Previously (like 5+ years ago) I was working with Brian Harvey (brian.harvey@biogen.com) and Liam Scott (liamscott26.2@gmail.com) and we did automated sleep scoring together so they have the expertise to review this software. However, previously we published together so we are not entirely independent. I asked coauthors too, will be back with more names if I receive suggestions. Thanks for contacting me!
