Pre-submission enquiry #886

Closed JesseRMeyer closed 3 years ago

JesseRMeyer commented 3 years ago

The team I am a part of at NASA GSFC recently published a paper entitled 'An unexpectedly large count of trees in the West African Sahara and Sahel' in Nature. The software published in that paper was used by the principal researchers in their designs of the study. As part of the computational replication work, a clean-room re-implementation was designed with emphasis for HPC, which was not published. However, it is currently in use supporting the team's upcoming follow-up paper, where the study area is increased substantially. While the code is tailored for the team's research, the core computation is accommodating of other image segmentation algorithms and inputs with some minimal degree of effort.

Would JOSS be welcoming to a submission of this software?
