@whedon assign me as editor

[whedon]

OK, the editor is @kthyng

[kthyng]

@evanoffPNNL Thank you for your submission! I will be your editor. Please add a "Statement of Need" to your paper to start. Also, can you recommend reviewers for this submission? You can recommend from your network or from this list of volunteers (as long as not conflicting). If you are providing github handles, please do not use "@" so that they are not prematurely notified with excessive email.

[evanoffPNNL]

@kthyng Thanks for your quick turn around on getting the review process started! The statement of need was an oversight that has been fixed in the latest release today. I am also listing a number of reviewers that seemed appropriate from my perspective in no particular order. Please let me know if there's anything else needed.

[crvernon]

@kthyng @evanoffPNNL The latest release is: https://github.com/JGCRI/hectorui/releases/tag/v1.1.1 and the accompanying DOI from Zenodo link is: http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4075376

This is what is now represented on the master.

Thanks!

[kthyng]

Hi @crvernon! We'll need that information at the end of the review process to make sure everything is up to date at that point, and there should be an up to date zenodo archive at that time too.

[kthyng]

I'll get back to this next week to get the review going.

[crvernon]

Thanks @kthyng ! Let us know if you need anything else. Have a great day!

@kthyng Sorry, I am just about to start another JOSS review and wouldn't be able to get to this even within the extended timeline.

@tscheypidi are you a JOSS reviewer yet?

[marvinjqs]

Hello @kthyng , I would like to be a reviewer for this publication.

[kthyng]

@marvinjonathcn - excellent! I will add you now. We need to find another reviewer before continue on in the review process, so hold tight for now.

[kthyng]

@whedon assign @marvinjonathcn as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @marvinjonathcn is now a reviewer

[kthyng]

@nuest of course, totally understand, thanks for getting back to me.

[kthyng]

@tscheypidi Here is the link to sign up as a JOSS reviewer generally if you'd like. Are you interested in being a reviewer on this submission?

[tscheypidi]

@kthyng @nuest Thanks for the invitation. I haven't reviewed for JOSS yet, but I am happy to help.

[kthyng]

Ok thanks @tscheypidi, looks like you are a good fit.

[kthyng]

@whedon add @tscheypidi as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @tscheypidi is now a reviewer

[kthyng]

@whedon start review

[whedon]

OK, I've started the review over in https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/2782.
