@editorialbot invite @chartgerink as editor

[editorialbot]

Invitation to edit this submission sent!

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@chartgerink do you think you can help edit this work? I thought that the "reproducible science" aspect might connect with you. Note, there are a number of EMG/ECG/EEG/signal processing papers in JOSS already, and you might check if reviewers for those are applicable to this submission too.

[chartgerink]

@Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman sorry I'd prefer not to - I'm swamped with other tasks and I do not feel up to the task to edit a MATLAB based piece.

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@crsl4 do you think this submission is something you could help edit?

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@editorialbot invite @crsl4 as editor

:wave: @crsl4 do you think you can help with this one?

[crsl4]

Sorry, just back from break and catching up with piles of emails. Yes, I can edit it, but I might be slow as is one of my first papers to serve as editor.

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@editorialbot assign @crsl4 as editor

[editorialbot]

Assigned! @crsl4 is now the editor

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

That is great @crsl4! Take your time. And I am here to help if you have any questions.

@crsl4 thank you for the invitation! Unfortunately I'm not at all familiar with Matlab, so I'm not capable of reviewing this, sorry about that.

[crsl4]

Thanks Jay! I had not even started the "review process" because I need one more reviewer. But feel free to get started!
