explicit hint to the tag list

[nbehrnd]

May the documentation add a link to an explicit listing of all the tags used?

At present, searching publications in JOSS allows the criteria title, language, author, tag. Inspired by Karl Voit's presentation at GLT18 (45min video) including examples of tagging files locally and the benefits of this approach, and that there are publishers with public lists of the keywords they use to tag their publications (example Wiley-VCH) with a set of keywords. Thus I think an explicit list of the tags JOSS uses would be an advantage. It assists readers to query for publications of interest, authors to identify potential cross-sections of interest with publications already submitted. It might be already in use internally if you assign which member/members of the Editorial Board does/do check publications about oceanography, or quantum chemistry.

Yes, this is a great idea! We're actually exploring something like this right now.
