@mcgalcode Thanks for this submission. I am the AEiC for this track, and here to help process initial steps. I have started to look for a handling editor. Note that many are handling other submissions so it may take some time before we are able to assign one.

For the moment, could you please try to address the above potentially missing/invalid DOIs? :point_up:

You can call @editorialbot generate pdf to update the paper, and you can call @editorialbot check references to check those DOIs again. Thanks.

[mcgalcode]

Hi @Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman, I appreciate your help with the review of my paper! This all sounds good to me.

I fixed the first of the two DOIs, but the third suggestion refers to something unrelated. That bibliography entry is for an article in Scientific American on jstor, which doesn't seem to have a DOI associated with it (https://www.jstor.org/stable/24927642).

@mcgalcode these "calls" (e.g. @editorialbot check references) to the bot need to be the first thing (and perhaps on their own) in a comment. Also, the DOI checker isn't always right, as you discovered. Thanks for checking though.

[mcgalcode]

Aha, thanks @Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman. I suspected that might be the case. I'll regenerate the paper.
