Hi @jnnsbrr and thanks for your submission. Can you add a sentence or two to the beginning of the paper to explain more about dynamic global vegetative models and where they fit in with other models? There are a lot of acronyms and not a lot of explanation for context. Also is it normal to have to install R packages to see any docs?

[jnnsbrr]

Dear @kthyng, thank you! I added a definition for DGVMs to the Statement of need section (update is on the way). Yes, its normal to first install R packages to be able to view the rendered rd files (in ./man) in R. For our R package we additionally provide the full documentation at CRAN and at r-universe. Both are linked in the paper, CRAN publication in the Summary and r-universe documentation in the Documentation & License section.

[fraukewiese]

Thanks for the invitation. Unfortunately, I cannot edit this submission due to time constraints but also lack of understanding of the content of the software.

[kthyng]

Hi @jnnsbrr — What sort of expertise would overlap with the topic of your software? We seem to be having some trouble finding a good fit.

[jnnsbrr]

Hi @kthyng, thank you! I think the following topics would be relevant ...

1. background in R
2. numerical modelling AND/OR process-based modelling AND/OR (global) ecological modelling
3. - and only nice to have - expertise with Earth System Models OR Dynamic Global Vegetation Models

[jnnsbrr]

Thank you!
An alternative could also be to ask one of the authors of the rlpjguess R package (mauriziobagnara, Rasilgon, florianhartig), which is a similar approach for a sister model of LPJmL (LPJGUESS) and was published in Environmental Modelling & Software.

[graciellehigino]

@editorialbot assign @graciellehigino as editor

Imma give it a go! Let's get this paper reviewed! [=

[editorialbot]

Assigned! @graciellehigino is now the editor

[jnnsbrr]

Cool, thank you 🙂

[kthyng]

@jnnsbrr We have a pool of editors for JOSS from which we need to choose, but for reviewers we can pick essentially anyone who can/will do the job and doesn't have a conflict of interest! Your reviewer suggestions will be very helpful for @graciellehigino in choosing reviewers.
