Hi @briandesilva thank you for submitting to JOSS. I will look for reviewers shortly.

In the meantime, I have a few comments

• The second paragraph of the article is a laundry list of citations. JOSS papers should be written for a non-specialist audience and include "a list of key references".
• The list of author of the fourth reference is lacking full names.
• Please also check that the DOI are properly formatted for all references.
• You do not cite scikit-learn despite having prepared your library for interacting with it. This should be fixed.

[pdebuyl]

@stsievert , @jordanperr can you review the article "PySensors: A Python Package for Sparse Sensor Placement" for JOSS ?

[jordanperr]

@pdebuyl Happy to review this, but I'm not very familiar with the process. I am aware of the reviewer checklist, but It would be helpful if you could please guide me through the procedure.

[pdebuyl]

Thank you for the reply @jordanperr . We have documentation for authors / reviewers / editors at https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

The high-level view is this: when we have two reviewers, I start the review. There will be a new github issue with the checklist and a link to the instructions. The issue page serves as the communication channel for all involved and I'll be available to reply to questions. You can have a look at accepted papers reviews if you wish https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues?page=5&q=+label%3Aaccepted

For now, you should just wait for the review to start :-)

Thank you @briandesilva , apart from Karniadakis 2009 and Tao the references are fine and my other comments addressed.

[stsievert]

I'll have to decline the review; I'm already on a different JOSS review and have limited bandwidth.
