@JeremyGelb - 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!

[cole-brokamp]

Hi @jhollist and @cole-brokamp! Would you be willing to review this submission for JOSS?

I cannot. I currently have too many other current and upcoming review commitments.

[martinfleis]

Hi @nuest, @gsapijaszko and @Yingjie4Science! Would you be willing to help JOSS and review this package?

[Yingjie4Science]

@martinfleis I might not be the right person to review this package, given the required in-depth knowledge of GIS and spatial statistics. I have sent you an email with two recommendations.

[nuest]

This looks like an interesting submission - I'm also not an expert in the statistics, but would be willing to help out with a review.

@appelmar - have you reviewed for JOSS before? This might be right up your alley.

[martinfleis]

@editorialbot add @nuest as reviewer

[editorialbot]

@nuest added to the reviewers list!

[martinfleis]

@nuest Thank you!

@Yingjie4Science Thanks for letting me know and for the suggestions you sent!

@appelmar Would you be willing to review this submission for JOSS? If you are not aware, JOSS is a free, open-source, community driven and developer-friendly online journal (no publisher is seeking to raise revenue from the volunteer labor of researchers!). The review process at JOSS is unique: it takes place in a GitHub issue, is open, and author-reviewer-editor conversations are encouraged. JOSS reviews involve downloading and installing the software, and inspecting the repository and submitted paper for key elements. See https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/review_criteria.html. Thanks!

[martinfleis]

Hey @ljwolf, would you be interested in reviewing this?

[ljwolf]

Yeah, sure!

[martinfleis]

@editorialbot add @ljwolf as reviewer

[editorialbot]

@ljwolf added to the reviewers list!

[martinfleis]

@ljwolf thanks! I'll start the review now and we will move the discussion to the review issue.

[martinfleis]

@editorialbot start review

[editorialbot]

OK, I've started the review over in https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/5259.
