👋 Hi @LMBooth, and thanks for your submission to JOSS !

If you have suggestions for potential reviewers, please let me know by listing their names or GitHub handles (without the @, so they don't receive a notification) here.

You can suggest reviewers from any relevant project, though we often recommend starting with this database of people who have already agreed to review for JOSS.

I'll put together a list of folks to reach out to as reviewers based on these suggestions and my own recommendations. I'll update this thread with that outreach.

[LMBooth]

Hi @emdupre,

Reviewing the list i think JanCBrammer could be a good choice with his interest in electrophysiology and biosignals, tuliofalmeida or anilbey for a few recommendations?

Would you like me to pick any more?

[emdupre]

Thank you for the suggestions, @LMBooth !

I'll review these alongside my own research and send our invitations shortly. At this time of year it may take slightly longer to identify reviewers ; if we have difficulties identifying available reviewers, I may ask you for more suggestions.

[emdupre]

👋 Hi @agricolab, @anilbey,

Would you be willing to review PyBCI: Python Framework for User-Friendly and Real-Time Brain Computer Interfaces with LSL for JOSS (the Journal of Open Source Software)?

You can learn more about reviewing for JOSS -- including our conflict of interest policy -- here.

The review takes place on GitHub and focuses on the software and this short paper: https://github.com/openjournals/joss-papers/blob/joss.05609/joss.05609/10.21105.joss.05609.pdf

If you're available to review this work, please let me know and I'll add you as a reviewer. Once I have sufficient reviewers I'll open a dedicated review issue.

Thank you for considering !

[JanCBrammer]

@emdupre, thanks for the consideration. Unfortunately I don't have the bandwidth for a review atm. I set my status to unavailable over at https://reviewers.joss.theoj.org/reviewers for now.

[anilbey]

Hi @emdupre I will be happy to review this work.

[emdupre]

Thank you for letting me know, @JanCBrammer and @anilbey !

@anilbey, I'll go ahead and add you as a reviewer on this submission now. Once we have a suitable number of reviewers, I'll open a dedicated review issue.

[tuliofalmeida]

Hello @emdupre ! Thank you for the invitation, I would like to review this paper. But, I'll only be available in the second half of August, if it is not a problem I'm available.

[rougier]

@emdupre Sory, I'm more or less on vacation and I cannot do the review right now. Feel free to ping me again in two weeks if you did not find reviewers.

[emdupre]

Thank you both for your responses, @tuliofalmeida and @rougier ! I appreciate you letting us know.

It's a busy time of year (I'm also travelling at the moment, hence my delay !), but as @anilbey has already kindly agreed to serve as a reviewer, I'll see if we can identify a second reviewer who's also available sooner. Otherwise, I may contact you again in a few weeks ! Thanks for considering.
