:wave: @toruseo - Could you please provide a branch that has both the code of your repo and the paper components needed for JOSS within the same branch? This will help our editorialbot to find what it needs.

[toruseo]

@crvernon Sorry for my misunderstanding. Now branch JOSS has both of the paper and software code.

[Nitnelav]

Hi ! I'd be happy to volunteer as a reviewer if needed. I'm not a traffic engineer but I am using multi-agent mesoscopic traffic models in my work. It would be my first review here so i'll try to strictly follow the guidelines.

Hi @Nitnelav, I'll keep that in mind when I get an editor assigned to this submission. How did you hear about this review by the way?

[crvernon]

@openjournals/dev can you help out the the PDF generation action failure above? Thanks!

Hi @Nitnelav, I'll keep that in mind when I get an editor assigned to this submission. How did you hear about this review by the way?

Cool, thanks !

I had an eye on the joss-reviews issues for some time, looking for one I could volunteer to review. I was hipped about JOSS at an "open source in acoustics" workshop and I found the open submission and reviewing process on github very interesting. Then we (the UMRAE team) decided to submit our NoiseModelling software to JOSS (work is in progress). And so I thought I'd participate to the reviewing process to see how it goes !

The error in the PDF generation comes from this date in the paper's metadata not following the expected syntax .
