Technical checks

For details about the pyOpenSci packaging requirements, see our packaging guide. Confirm each of the following by checking the box. This package:

• [ ] does not violate the Terms of Service of any service it interacts with.
• [ ] uses an OSI approved license.
• [ ] contains a README with instructions for installing the development version.
• [ ] includes documentation with examples for all functions.
• [ ] contains a tutorial with examples of its essential functions and uses.
• [ ] has a test suite.
• [ ] has continuous integration setup, such as GitHub Actions CircleCI, and/or others.

Publication Options

• [ ] Do you wish to automatically submit to the Journal of Open Source Software? If so:

JOSS Checks

- [ ] The package has an **obvious research application** according to JOSS's definition in their [submission requirements][JossSubmissionRequirements]. Be aware that completing the pyOpenSci review process **does not** guarantee acceptance to JOSS. Be sure to read their submission requirements (linked above) if you are interested in submitting to JOSS. - [ ] The package is not a "minor utility" as defined by JOSS's [submission requirements][JossSubmissionRequirements]: "Minor ‘utility’ packages, including ‘thin’ API clients, are not acceptable." pyOpenSci welcomes these packages under "Data Retrieval", but JOSS has slightly different criteria. - [ ] The package contains a `paper.md` matching [JOSS's requirements][JossPaperRequirements] with a high-level description in the package root or in `inst/`. - [ ] The package is deposited in a long-term repository with the DOI: *Note: JOSS accepts our review as theirs. You will NOT need to go through another full review. JOSS will only review your paper.md file. Be sure to link to this pyOpenSci issue when a JOSS issue is opened for your package. Also be sure to tell the JOSS editor that this is a pyOpenSci reviewed package once you reach this step.*

Are you OK with Reviewers Submitting Issues and/or pull requests to your Repo Directly?

This option will allow reviewers to open smaller issues that can then be linked to PR's rather than submitting a more dense text based review. It will also allow you to demonstrate addressing the issue via PR links.

• [x] Yes I am OK with reviewers submitting requested changes as issues to my repo. Reviewers will then link to the issues in their submitted review.

Confirm each of the following by checking the box.

• [ ] I have read the author guide.
• [ ] I expect to maintain this package for at least 2 years and can help find a replacement for the maintainer (team) if needed.

Please fill out our survey

• [ ] Last but not least please fill out our pre-review survey. This helps us track submission and improve our peer review process. We will also ask our reviewers and editors to fill this out.

Editor in Chief checks

Hi there! Thank you for submitting your package for pyOpenSci review. Below are the basic checks that your package needs to pass to begin our review. If some of these are missing, we will ask you to work on them before the review process begins.

Please check our Python packaging guide for more information on the elements below.

• [ ] Installation The package can be installed from a community repository such as PyPI (preferred), and/or a community channel on conda (e.g. conda-forge, bioconda).
  • [ ] The package imports properly into a standard Python environment import package.
• [ ] Fit The package meets criteria for fit and overlap.
• [ ] Documentation The package has sufficient online documentation to allow us to evaluate package function and scope without installing the package. This includes:
  • [ ] User-facing documentation that overviews how to install and start using the package.
  • [ ] Short tutorials that help a user understand how to use the package and what it can do for them.
  • [ ] API documentation (documentation for your code's functions, classes, methods and attributes): this includes clearly written docstrings with variables defined using a standard docstring format.
• [ ] Core GitHub repository Files
  • [ ] README The package has a README.md file with clear explanation of what the package does, instructions on how to install it, and a link to development instructions.
  • [ ] Contributing File The package has a CONTRIBUTING.md file that details how to install and contribute to the package.
  • [ ] Code of Conduct The package has a CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md file.
  • [ ] License The package has an OSI approved license. NOTE: We prefer that you have development instructions in your documentation too.
• [ ] Issue Submission Documentation All of the information is filled out in the YAML header of the issue (located at the top of the issue template).
• [ ] Automated tests Package has a testing suite and is tested via a Continuous Integration service.
• [ ] Repository The repository link resolves correctly.
• [ ] Package overlap The package doesn't entirely overlap with the functionality of other packages that have already been submitted to pyOpenSci.
• [ ] Archive (JOSS only, may be post-review): The repository DOI resolves correctly.
• [ ] Version (JOSS only, may be post-review): Does the release version given match the GitHub release (v1.0.0)?
