👋 @RobinHankin - thanks for your submission.

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. Please feel free to make changes to your .md file, then use the command @editorialbot generate pdf to make a new PDF. editorialbot commands need to be the first entry in a new comment.

Also, your paper is remarkably short, and doesn't really explain to a general (non-mathematician) audience what this software is or why it is needed. It also doesn't have any references, which seems unusual for scientific work. You might want to extend it a bit, perhaps with a bit of what's in the README as well.

In addition, the JOSS editors will evaluate the scope in terms of the effort, once there is a paper that compiles. It appears that the main directory (R) has about 650 lines of code and this seems to have a commit history of a few months, both of which may be issues of scholarly effort (see https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/submitting.html#substantial-scholarly-effort)

[RobinHankin]

@danielskatz thanks for this. I am currently looking at the compilation issue [I could not figure out how to get the editorialbot to generate the PDF before submission, can you advise?], but in the meantime, the submission is written in R and C with a total of 1678 lines of code, within scope? Also, there is a reference list but perhaps the compilation failure rendered it invisible.

In any event, I will extend paper.md as you suggest.

Best wishes

Robin

[danielskatz]

I think the affiliation part of the .md file needs to be more like the example

affiliations:
 - name: University of Stirling, UK
   index: 1

rather than

affiliations: name "University of Stirling"

[danielskatz]

And I missed the C++ code, so the LOCs might be less of an issue, but the short commit history still might

[danielskatz]

Once the paper does compile, please use the command @editorialbot check references to make sure there are DOIs for everything that should have them

@editorialbot query scope

As I mentioned previously, due to the relatively short commit history, the editors will now discuss if this submission meets the substantial scholarly effort criterion for review by JOSS. You should hear back in a week or two.

Thanks @RobinHankin - the paper looks good enough to go into review, but let's see what the editors say about the scholarly effort, which should be a week or two...
