Section 7

I miss the open science perspective in this concluding section.

see #9

I've added this sentence to the first paragraph of the conclusions:

By encouraging researchers to develop their software following best practices, and then share and publish it openly, JOSS supports the broader open-science movement.

I also clarified in the final paragraph that the JOSS components could be expanded to other open-access overlay journals:

The JOSS web application and submission tool, the Whedon RubyGem library, and the Whedon-API bot could be easily forked to create open-access overlay journals for other content types (data sets, posters, figures, etc.).

And then pointed these changes out in the response.

While I agree with the idea of your second change, could JOSS components also be used to create non-open access overlay journals? I suspect so.

Yes, there's nothing OA-specific about the toolchain really (it could all happen in private repositories etc)

kyleniemeyer commented 6 years ago

Hmm, yeah I suppose they could... but I do think we want to emphasize that we hope they are used for OA overlay journals.

Should we remove the "open-access" bit from the current sentence, or perhaps rephrase the sentence to say we hope they are used for this purpose?

I think removing 'open-access' from this sentence works well here.

kyleniemeyer commented 6 years ago

OK, done, and removed the related bit from the response too.
