:wave: @julianreul - thanks for your submission to JOSS. We're currently managing a large backlog of submissions and the editor most appropriate for your area is already rather busy.

For now, we will need to waitlist this paper and process it as the queue reduces. Thanks for your patience!

If you want to fix the DOIs (noting that @editorialbot'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.

@editorialbot generate pdf @editorialbot check references

[oliviaguest]

perhaps when/if @sbenthall, you have the time, this could be edited by you?

[sbenthall]

I will be able to edit this once I have cleared other submissions from pre-review.

[arfon]

:wave: @sbenthall – just checking in here – are you still OK to take this submission on?

[sbenthall]

I am currently at capacity already with one submission I'm editing still needing to complete its review roster.

[julianreul]

@sbenthall Thank you for handling our submission. - If we can assist you during the review process, e.g. by proposing potential reviewers, just let us know. We're looking forward to publishing with JOSS. Best regards Julian

[sbenthall]

@editorialbot assign me as editor

[editorialbot]

Assigned! @sbenthall is now the editor

[sbenthall]

Hello @julianreul

I apologize for the long delay. I can now take this submission on as your editor.

Yes, proposing potential reviewers would make this go forward much more smoothly! Do you have anyone in mind?

[julianreul]

Thank you @sbenthall for taking over our submission as editor.

Based on the JOSS-reviewers spreadsheet I would propose Christina Maimone (E-Mail: christina.maimone@northwestern.edu, Username: cmaimone) as a potential reviewer. Her field of expertise (political science & social science, among others) seems to match our submission.

My second reviewer proposal would come from my personal network. However, I need to find out about his current workload first.

Best regards Julian

[julianreul]

My second reviewer proposal is Leander Kotzur (E-Mail: leander.kotzur@googlemail.com, Username: l-kotzur), due to his expertise in energy system modeling (one potential application of MO|DE.behave) and his experience with open-source python tools.

@cmaimone Would you be able to review this submission?

[cmaimone]

@sbenthall can you remind me of the target turnaround time? I can't get to this for at least a few weeks

[l-kotzur]

@sbenthall I would be able to review this submission.

[sbenthall]

@editorialbot assign @l-kotzur as reviewer

I'm sorry human, I don't understand that. You can see what commands I support by typing:

@editorialbot commands

[sbenthall]

Thanks @l-kotzur ; I've assigned you as a reviewer.

[sbenthall]

@cmaimone The turn-around time is 3-4 weeks beginning from the start of the reviewing period. How does your schedule look now?

[sbenthall]

@editorialbot add @l-kotzur as reviewer

[editorialbot]

Ok thanks. Sorry, for the confusion. I wanted to check if I shall already start with the review since I was assigned.

[cmaimone]

@sbenthall Sorry, I don't think I can do this one in a timely manner
