I fixed 3 bib entries correcting some typographical mistakes, including the incorrect DOI as noted above.

@editorialbot query scope

πŸ‘‹ @vrettasm - Thanks for your submission to JOSS. I am going to pass this one through our larger editorial board for review to see if it meets our substantial scholarly effort requirement. This process should take about 2 weeks and I will let you know when I hear back. Thanks!

@editorialbot reject

:wave: @vrettasm - Thank you for your submission to JOSS. After further review with our larger editorial board, we have decided that your submission needs a bit of work before it is ready for review in JOSS. The following reasons were identified:

We look forward to the progress of this work in the future and encourage you to continue your work. Thank you.

Paper rejected.

vrettasm commented 3 months ago

Dear editor,

Thank you very much for taking the time to pre-review my article submission to the JOSS.

Regarding the first reason of the rejection, it is true that I haven't packed the code according to some standards. I thought that is something that can be done later on in the event the paper being accepted.

Regarding the second point, I am not exactly sure what is meant that the provided code can solve only real valued problems, since I have two examples (Traveling Salesman Problem, N-Queens problem) that clearly work with permutation encoded chromosomes.

Finally, regarding the last point there are several umittests (/code/test/) that test the functionality of the genetic operators.

Nevertheless, I fully accept your decision of rejecting my paper.

Your sincerely,

M. Vrettas
