Journal of Open Source Software Publication #9

Request for Enhancement (RFE)

(Migrated from: sourceryinstitute/OpenCoarrays#540)

The Journal of Open Source Software would make a nice place to announce and describe the features of OpenCoarrays to the open source community. The papers are written in Markdown and paper submission only requires the repository be open source.

Anyone else who wants to contribute, assign yourselves to this issue so you can write about your work.

And then the very first comment from @dcelisgarza:

Hey guys, JOSS has a script to create a metadata file for everyone. That data is not strictly required but is nice to have. It is the following:

  • Email address.
  • ORC ID.
  • Affiliation.

JOSS papers are basically glorified READMEs + release announcement rolled into one so no need to panic over writing or anything.

The paper paper.md will be in in the root folder of JOSS.

We might consider migrating the paper.md file from OpenCoarrays to here and/or submitting a paper for OpenCoarrays.

@scrasmussen I think this journal submission is a great thing for you to target as soon as we complete the issues under the "Prepare for incorporation into gfortran" milestone. I put a target deadline of 30 November 2018 on that milestone because I think the work involved is not huge and because Paul has suggested the the might be able to contribute to this effort around then. We can always adjust the milestone if necessary.

On a related note, I just finished my first review of a JOSS and it was a great experience. It made me really value the journal. The [review criteria] are all things that one would want to exist in great open-source software anyway and, once those criteria have been met, the additional hurdle of submitting is minimal so JOSS publications have a lot of bang for the buck. BTW, the software I reviewed is a very interesting modern Fortran source transformation tool and you might recognize the other reviewer. ;)
