Hi @nicrie and thanks for your submission. I saw the note with your submission. Was there a software review as part of the publication below? N. Rieger, Á. Corral, E. Olmedo, and A. Turiel, “Lagged Teleconnections of Climate Variables Identified via Complex Rotated Maximum Covariance Analysis,” Journal of Climate, vol. 34, no. 24, pp. 9861–9878, Dec. 2021, doi: 10.1175/JCLI-D-21-0244.1.

[nicrie]

Hey @kthyng, no there wasn't. We just included it with the paper so others could check our work if they wanted to. It wasn't a must-have for the journal, just our way of being open about our research.

[nicrie]

Looking at the list of available reviewers, I believe malmans2 & miniufo would be a great fit.

[kthyng]

@nicrie Ok great. Can you list 3 more potential reviewers, and also address the potentially missing DOIs listed above.

[kthyng]

Hi @matthewfeickert! We don't usually overlap but I'm hoping you'd be a good fit for editing this submission from the stats/math side of things. What do you think?

We don't usually overlap but I'm hoping you'd be a good fit for editing this submission from the stats/math side of things. What do you think?

Sorry @kthyng I'm just seeing this now (I'm behind on email and GitHub notifications while applying for faculty positions). Hm, this is certainly outside of my wheelhouse subject wise, so if there is another topical editor that is a better fit on the subject matter I would go with them, but if not then I could take this on.

[kthyng]

Ok thanks @matthewfeickert I'll search around.

[kthyng]

Hi @samhforbes! I am looking for an editor in the signal processing/time series analysis sort of area. Are you up for editing this submission?

[kthyng]

@editorialbot invite @samhforbes as editor

[editorialbot]

Invitation to edit this submission sent!

[samhforbes]

Hi @kthyng I'm happy to take a run at this, as long as I can find a climate expert to review (and recommendations would be welcome here!)

[samhforbes]

@editorialbot assign me as editor

[editorialbot]

Assigned! @samhforbes is now the editor

[nicrie]

Thank you for your time, @samhforbes ! I've checked the list of potential reviewers for climate/atmosphere experts:

• rabernat
• kgoebber
• DamienIrving
• arbennett

For completeness, I will also list again the potential reviewers that I already mentioned above, who also seem to have a lot of experience in the relevant areas.

• malmans2
• miniufo
• syedhamidali
• jimmielin
• eviatarbach

[samhforbes]

That's really helpful, thanks @nicrie

[samhforbes]

@DamienIrving @malmans2 @eviatarbach would any of you be willing to review this submission 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
