Hi @lucydot are you interested in editing this submission?

[kthyng]

@whedon invite @lucydot as editor

[whedon]

@lucydot has been invited to edit this submission.

[lucydot]

Hi @kthyng yes I'd be happy to be editor for this 👍

[lucydot]

@whedon assign me as editor

[whedon]

OK, the editor is @lucydot

[lucydot]

Hi @tcaduser I'll be your editor for this submission 👋

Do you have any suggestions for potential reviewers? If so it'd be useful if you could mention them here in this thread (without tagging them with an @). In addition, this list of people have already agreed to review for JOSS and may be suitable for this submission (please start at the bottom of the list).

[tcaduser]

Hi @lucydot, thank you for being editor. Based on the domain topics from people on your list, I think these may be good candidates: MikeHeiber dalonsoa (Their simulator is cited in my work) alvesjnr Jgoldfar

[lucydot]

Hi @tcaduser thanks for the suggestions!

Hi @Jgoldfar and @dalonsoa 👋 are you available to review this submission?

[jgoldfar]

Hi there Lucy, and thanks for thinking of me. I would be able to review this work within the month, if that timeline works for this publication.

[dalonsoa]

Hi @lucydot , same here. Happy to provide a review for this during November.

[lucydot]

hi @jgoldfar and @dalonsoa - thank-you for your speedy responses and for agreeing to review 🎈

[lucydot]

@whedon assign @jgoldfar as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @jgoldfar is now a reviewer

[lucydot]

@whedon add @dalonsoa as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @dalonsoa is now a reviewer

[lucydot]

@jgoldfar @dalonsoa thank-you for agreeing to review. I'll ask our bot Whedon to start a review issue thread (this is the pre-review thread) - the review guidelines will be listed at the top of that new thread.

We're asking for reviews to be complete within a 4-6 week period. As the review is usually an iterative process (rather than something you do in one sitting) it's best for reviews to start earlier in that timeline - providing the review through November will work well 👍

[lucydot]

@whedon start review

[whedon]

OK, I've started the review over in https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/3898.

[jgoldfar]

@whedon re-invite @jgoldfar as reviewer

[whedon]

I'm sorry @jgoldfar, I'm afraid I can't do that. That's something only editors are allowed to do.

[jgoldfar]

Hi @lucydot - I think you may need to run the above command for me to be able to submit my review (found this on https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/whedon.html)

[danielskatz]

@whedon re-invite @jgoldfar as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, the reviewer has been re-invited.

@jgoldfar please accept the invite by clicking this link: https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/invitations

[danielskatz]

Sorry, this actually should have been done in the review thread, not here, but I think it will still work.
