@ixjlyons – many thanks for your submission to JOSS. While we look for an editor to handle this submission, if you want to fix the DOIs (noting that Whedon's suggestions are not always right), you can, then use the following commands (one at a time, as the first line of a new comment) to regenerate the PDF and check the references.

@prashjha are you interested in editing this submission?

[kthyng]

@whedon invite @prashjha as editor

[whedon]

@prashjha has been invited to edit this submission.

[prashjha]

@kthyng thank you. I will be glad to be editor of this submission.

[prashjha]

@whedon assign me as editor

[whedon]

OK, the editor is @prashjha

[prashjha]

Hi, @ixjlyons, it is a pleasure to handle your submission as the editor. Could you please suggest a couple of potential reviewers from this reviewers list. Let me know if you have trouble finding the names.

[prashjha]

@ixjlyons, while you and I are looking for potential reviewers, I have a few remarks for the draft of the paper:

As per the example JOSS paper here, you are missing 'Statement of Need'. For a software article, I would also like to see some details about the model and application using your code. You may also need to add the 'Acknowledgments' section if any. I would recommend keeping the article within 3 page limit (excluding references).

[prashjha]

Hi @ixjlyons, could you please respond to my comments above? Thanks!

[ixjlyons]

Hi @prashjha, apologies for the delay.

We are working on updates to the paper per your suggestions.

In the meantime, here are some reviewers that look like they might be interested in reviewing this submission:

• aliaksei135
• athulpg007
• cknoll
• crbinz
• Juanlu001
• helgee
• ngoiz

(I haven't @'d them in case you want to downselect first)

Also, I saw a few others in the list that might be appropriate in case the above don't work out.

[prashjha]

Hi @aliaksei135, would you be interested in reviewing this submission for JOSS?

[prashjha]

Howdy @athulpg007, any chance you could review this JOSS submission?

[athulpg007]

I am happy to review this submission.

[aliaksei135]
