:wave: @sambit-giri - thanks for your submission to JOSS. Can you tell me if this submission accompanies a paper in a AAS journal?

[arfon]

Also, from what I can find, there's no paper.md (or other JOSS-related materials) in this repository. Please familiarize yourself with our submission requirements and let us know when you've added your paper.

[sambit-giri]

@arfon There is no accompanying a paper in an AAS journal. We have put the paper for submission in the repository. I apologise for the inconvenience.

@arfon is it okay that my expertise is squarely in the "particle" part of particle astrophysics? I do have some basic familiarity with this topic and am happy to review, but we should definitely have someone on the team who is expert in this kind of analysis.

@sambit-giri do you have any reviewers you could recommend?

[arfon]

@arfon is it okay that my expertise is squarely in the "particle" part of particle astrophysics? I do have some basic familiarity with this topic and am happy to review, but we should definitely have someone on the team who is expert in this kind of analysis.

Yeah, I think this is OK :-) . Let's just make sure we get some expert reviewers as you say.

@pibion - The next step here is to ask Whedon to assign this paper to you. You can do either @whedon assign me as editor or @whedon assign @pibion as editor.

[pibion]

@whedon assign me as editor

[whedon]

OK, the editor is @pibion

[pibion]

@sambit-giri thanks for your patience while I find an editor or two with analysis experience relevant to this software. Just a heads up, this may take a few days.

[sambit-giri]
