@IlianPihlajamaa - Thanks for your submission, and I'll now look for an editor.

While I do so, you could work on the possibly missing DOIs that editorialbot suggests, but note that some may be incorrect. Please feel free to make changes to your .bib file, then use the command @editorialbot check references to check again, and the command @editorialbot generate pdf when the references are right to make a new PDF. editorialbot commands need to be the first entry in a new comment. Also, if there are references that you are not actually using in the paper, you could remove them from the .bib file and then editorialbot won't check them.

@danielskatz I'd be happy to in general, but I am about to leave for a long summer vacation, so I could really only work on this from September on.

[danielskatz]

@mstimberg - thanks. I think this is still a good option, as finding another editor will also take a little while, given current editing loads. I'll go ahead and assign you, knowing that this won't start until next month.

[danielskatz]

@editorialbot assign @mstimberg as editor

[editorialbot]

Assigned! @mstimberg is now the editor

[mstimberg]

@danielskatz OK! I still have a day to find reviewers, maybe they can work on this while I am away ☺

:wave: @fverdugo & @epspebble, @ericneiva would any of you be willing to review this submission (“ModeCouplingTheory.jl: A solver for mode-coupling-theory-like integro-differential equations”) for JOSS? We carry out our checklist-driven reviews here in GitHub issues and follow these guidelines: https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/review_criteria.html

[epspebble]

Hi Marcel,

Yes, it looks fun. I have reviewed the guidelines, quickly scanned the GitHub repo of ModeCouplingTheory and the previous YellowBrick review process.

Please let me know if we’d proceed with this and the time frame for completing the checkboxes.

Cheers, Simon

Great, thanks for the quick reply, @epspebble ! I'll let you know when the review officially starts. In general, we aim to finish reviews at JOSS within a few weeks, but given that I will be on away vacation myself very soon, there's no rush :) If you could aim for doing the review until early/mid September, that would be perfect.

PS: when you say you locked at "the previous YellowBrick review process", I assume you mean you had a lock at openjournals/joss-reviews#1075? I did not check whether this review process has been particularly exemplary, but please be aware that there have been a number of technical changes to the review process since then (e.g. @editorialbot replaced @whedon).

[epspebble]

Concerning the process, it should be fine since I am new and it doesn’t seem you have changed too much in the process. The bot idea is wonderful. For timing, I would prefer to do the bulk of the work late August to early September (which fits your schedule), but not much later than that as I happen to teach 3 courses this Fall with some new administrative workload.

Feel free to send me a more “exemplary” thread of the review process. I looked at YellowBricks because it was explicitly quoted somewhere in the guidelines. So you might want to replace that soon if that doesn’t reflect the current practice too well.

Reviews for JOSS are very freely structured with respect to who does what when, so I am rather confident that this will work out.

I looked at YellowBricks because it was explicitly quoted somewhere in the guidelines. Thanks, I wasn't aware of that.

@editorialbot add @epspebble as reviewer

[editorialbot]

@epspebble added to the reviewers list!

[mstimberg]

@epspebble I will start the review now, even though I haven't yet found other reviewers. You can go ahead with doing the review whenever you find time, and please don't hesitate to do it iteratively (e.g. adding individual comments or issues in the software repository), instead of submitting a single review as you would for most other journals. Thanks again for agreeing to review :pray: !

[mstimberg]

@editorialbot start review

[editorialbot]

OK, I've started the review over in https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/5737.
