@kylebeggs and @AustinTSchaffer - Thanks for agreeing to review this submission.
This is the review thread for the paper. All of our communications will happen here from now on.

Both reviewers have checklists at the top of this thread with the JOSS requirements. As you go over the submission, please check any items that you feel have been satisfied. There are also links to the JOSS reviewer guidelines.

Please read the first couple of comments in this issue carefully, so that you can accept the invitation from JOSS and be able to check items, and so that you don't get overwhelmed with notifications from other activities in JOSS.

The JOSS review is different from most other journals. Our goal is to work with the authors to help them meet our criteria instead of merely passing judgment on the submission. As such, reviewers are encouraged to submit issues and pull requests on the software repository. When doing so, please mention openjournals/joss-reviews#4079 so that a link is created to this thread (and I can keep an eye on what is happening). Please also feel free to comment and ask questions on this thread. In my experience, it is better to post comments/questions/suggestions as you come across them instead of waiting until you've reviewed the entire package.

We aim for reviews to be completed within about 2-4 weeks. Please let me know if either of you require some more time. We can also use Whedon (our bot) to set automatic reminders if you know you'll be away for a known period of time.

Please feel free to ping me (@danielskatz) if you have any questions/concerns.

whedon · 2022-02-04T00:18:12Z

👋 @kylebeggs, please update us on how your review is going (this is an automated reminder).

whedon · 2022-02-04T00:18:12Z

👋 @AustinTSchaffer, please update us on how your review is going (this is an automated reminder).

danielskatz · 2022-02-07T15:02:33Z

@kylebeggs & @AustinTSchaffer - how are things going in your reviews? Are there any problems I can help with?

AustinTSchaffer · 2022-02-07T15:37:07Z

Sorry, haven't gotten to it yet. It's on my to-do, but I was out of town this weekend. I'll take a look tonight.

@danielskatz I am swamped with work right now. I will be able to get to it next week. If that is too long then we may have to find another reviewer. Apologies.

danielskatz · 2022-02-07T17:50:58Z

That's fine - I'm just checking in to make sure it doesn't get lost...

danielskatz · 2022-02-15T19:40:40Z

Hi @kylebeggs and @AustinTSchaffer - I'm just checking in again to see how your reviews are coming along

kylebeggs · 2022-02-15T20:58:33Z

@danielskatz Good, making my way through the source code. About to try running the software.

AustinTSchaffer · 2022-02-16T04:04:17Z

@danielskatz I'm so sorry, I didn't end up looking at this 9 days ago. I added a new issue regarding Lunux installation instructions, but I definitely have most of the review still to do. I'll do a little more work later this week.

danielskatz · 2022-02-21T16:26:49Z

👋 @kylebeggs and @AustinTSchaffer - I'm just checking in once again to see how your reviews are coming along

kylebeggs · 2022-02-21T19:12:37Z

Not great. Working through installation woes. It seems both Austin and I are on Linux and the package was more Windows focused.

danielskatz · 2022-02-21T20:05:25Z

Do you think you will be able to proceed through the review?

kylebeggs · 2022-02-21T21:34:09Z

Depends if the authors will be able to help my issues in a timely manner. Perhaps for the sake of time we should seek another reviewer.

danielskatz · 2022-02-21T21:36:14Z

👋 @aliaksei135 - What do you think?

Note that if we do need to find one or two new reviewers, this will basically be like starting the review process over once we do find them, which itself can take a little time for reviewers with Windows systems. But perhaps this is best?

danielskatz · 2022-03-16T21:30:50Z

@aliaksei135 - At this point could you:

Make a tagged release of your software, and list the version tag of the archived version here.
Archive the reviewed software in Zenodo or a similar service (e.g., figshare, an institutional repository)
Check the archival deposit (e.g., in Zenodo) has the correct metadata. This includes the title (should match the paper title) and author list (make sure the list is correct and people who only made a small fix are not on it). You may also add the authors' ORCID.
Please list the DOI of the archived version here.

I can then move forward with accepting the submission.
