@nilsmeyerkit @moorepants @KeitaNakamura would you be interested in reviewing this work, on Python based continuum mechanics, for the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS)?
JOSS reviews focus on evaluating the software and on reviewing the short paper.

If you are interested you can comment in this issue. Thanks.

[meyer-nils]

Thank you for the suggestion, but as a co-author that seems to be a conflict of interest.

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

Thank you for the suggestion, but as a co-author that seems to be a conflict of interest.

@nilsmeyerkit my apologies I did not see you as a contributor to the software but see now you are on the paper. Sorry for the mix-up. FYI if you'd like to suggest reviewers at this point that would be helpful too. Thanks.

[KeitaNakamura]

Sorry for the late reply and thank you for the suggestion, but I'm not very familiar with python.

[lizarett]

hello. i can try to review, what's the timeline and any guidelines?

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

Hi @lizarett thanks, sure you can join if interested.

We used to aim for about 2-3 weeks for reviews but since COVID we've been much more flexible. If you need more time that is fine too. Let me know if you are still interested. Would you mind sharing your full name and affiliation?

[lizarett]

@Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman
I need an example of review, if possible? Can I drop you my details by e-mail, or it has to be public here?

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@lizarett sure, here is an example review: #1441. As you can see, each reviewer gets a set of check boxes to guide you through the review process. The review focuses on the software and the short paper as mentioned ☝️ above.

You can email me at kevin.moerman@nuigalway.ie.

Let me know if you have any questions and if you are interested in helping us. Thanks!
