Hello @sepandhaghighi, taking a look at your software and the paper, I'm afraid I don't quite see the research use for this software. JOSS only publishes articles about software with an explicit research application.

In addition, your article does not conform to our standards, as it only includes a single (incomplete) sentence. JOSS articles need to include a statement of purpose, a short summary describing the functionality, and include references (where necessary).

Hi @kyleniemeyer ;-) Orangetool is an easy to use linux based lib. This tool mostly use in IOT research and electronic programs that consist of single board computers.
But if you mean this software should directly analysis or generate some data about a research , this software is not like this, it is a tool.

About article paper and references :

• I added reference in paper.bib file.
• In one line this software is "Orangetool: Control Functions For Single-Board Computers" and each of these functions mentioned in paper.md.

This is not research software.

This submission is not in-scope for JOSS.

[kyleniemeyer]

@sepandhaghighi To be within scope of JOSS, the primary purpose of the tool should be for scholarly research—meaning, is this something that would be used in the methodology of a research study / article?

General software tools that do not specifically support research are not in scope, and unfortunately it appears your submission falls in this category. This isn't a judgement on the quality or usefulness of your software, but JOSS can only consider submissions in its specific scope.

[sepandhaghighi]

@kyleniemeyer yeah with this definition Orangetool is not in-scope for JOSS.
But I think this rule filter a large range of software's that work in high-level embedded system research!!
These tools really are not general and also direct-research!!

@sepandhaghighi I appreciate your feedback, but JOSS does need a scope, otherwise it dilutes the purpose of the journal.
