@zhanghe9704 just wanted to let you know I'm still looking for reviewers. Once we find one person we can start the review. Do you have any more relevant papers you could recommend?

[pibion]

@zhanghe9704 additional thoughts on how to recruit folks would also be welcome. In some cases I've had success asking people to ask their grad students if reviewing is something they would like to do. My impression is that most of the people I've been contacting are staff scientists and don't have students.

I've found a few university programs but haven't heard back. If you know of anyone with grad students that might be helpful.

@zhanghe9704 apologies for the delayed response - it's been a busy week. The current update is: still trying to find reviewers. I'm starting to think I need to visit a few places and lurk in the hallways.

I'll say a little more about the issues I'm running into in case you have any thoughts. A few people have expressed interest, but don't feel like they're expert enough in this particular area to review. The department heads/group leads I've contacted haven't responded - my hope was that they might know of enthusiastic students or postdocs who might be interested and have time.

[zhanghe9704]

Hello @pibion,

Thanks for your reply. Have you contacted Prof. Yue Hao @.***) at Michigan State University? He may be able to help find a reviewer.

Dr. Ji Qiang @.***) at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab may also be able to help.

Another idea is to contact the developers or users of the DACE library: https://github.com/dacelib/dace. I think they should know about TA/TPSA. COI: You may find Alex Wittig as the main developer of DACE. We graduated from the same group with the same Ph.D. adviser. We actually sit in the same office for about six years.

[sjcrs]

My colleague Dan Abell @dtabell is experienced with TPSA and would be willing to review the article

[pibion]

@sjcrs thank you!

[pibion]

@dtabell, would you be willing to review this submission for JOSS? We carry out our checklist-driven reviews here in GitHub issues and follow these guidelines: https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/review_criteria.html.

Please let me know if you have any questions, I'm happy to communicate in whatever way works best for you - just let me know!

[dtabell]

@pibion Yes. I am willing to review this submission. I see the paper has languished for lack of a reviewer. I will endeavor to have this done before the end of the month. Will that suit?

[pibion]

@editorialbot add @dtabell as reviewer

[editorialbot]

@dtabell added to the reviewers list!

[pibion]

@dtabell end of month is a great time scale, thank you for volunteering as a reviewer!

@arfon I would like to start this review now even though we still need to add a second reviewer - this would let us take advantage of @dtabell 's current availability. What do you think?

[arfon]

@arfon I would like to start this review now even though we still need to add a second reviewer - this would let us take advantage of @dtabell 's current availability. What do you think?

Sorry I missed this. Yes, I agree you should move this forward while looking for another reviewer.

[pibion]

@arfon thank you!

[pibion]

@dtabell are you still available to review? If so I'll start the review now!

[arfon]

@pibion – it looks like you might need to find new reviewers here. This might be a good source of candidates: https://github.com/topics/power-series

[arfon]

:wave: @pibion – this submission is still waiting to go out for review. How are you getting on finding a second reviewer?

[zhanghe9704]

Hello,

Just want to ask if there's any updates and if there's anything I can help with.

Best regards, He Zhang
