👋 @Alexhb02 - note that your paper does not compile. Please follow the example paper and note that you can click on the error above to find out more about it. In addition, 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 after making changes to the .md file or when the references are right to make a new PDF. editorialbot commands need to be the first entry in a new comment.

@Alexhb02 & @Jonathan-E-Gordon - JOSS papers are expected to be 250-1000 words in length. This paper is currently over 2500, as shown by the @editorialbot check repository command. If JOSS accepts this for review, you will have to reduce it. Additionally, the remaining suggested DOI appears correct, so at some point, you will need to add it to the entry in the .bib file.

But before we get to that point, I'm going to ask the editors to discuss if it meets the substantial scholarly effort criterion for review by JOSS, due to the relatively small number of lines of code. You should hear back in couple of weeks or so.

As part of this review, editors will look at the repo's commit history. It appears very brief, making me suspect that development happened before the repository was created. Can you say anything about the work that isn't visible here? How many contributors have their been? How much work was involved (in person-months perhaps), and over what period?

@danielskatz The software was published on CRAN and PyPI in 2021. Due to lab policy, we developed the software in a private Bitbucket repository, which has accumulated over 400 commits since 2021. In January 2024, we initiated a redesign of the software, resulting in 110 commits from 9 authors, representing approximately 7 person-months of work. We can send the whole commit history if that is helpful. This software will also be cited in a Scientific Data paper currently under review, titled “Materials Data Science Ontology (MDS-Onto): Unifying Domain Knowledge in Materials and Applied Data Science” and we believe this software will be very valuable for those generating ontologies, addressing a need in various academic domains.
