I added the missing doi values. All of the ones suggested by the bot were indeed correct. There's one proceedings paper that doesn't appear to have a doi.

[markur4]

please excuse the confusion, I hastily asked editorialbot for commands without realizing I was in the wrong thread (I'm new to this)!

[misken]

No worries :)

[oliviaguest]

@mstimberg do you have capacity for this?

[mstimberg]

@oliviaguest Yes, I'd be happy to edit this.

[mstimberg]

@editorialbot assign me as editor

[editorialbot]

Assigned! @mstimberg is now the editor

[mstimberg]

👋 @misken I will edit your submission and do my best to facilitate the review process. I've started contacting reviewers over mail, and hopefully we can start the actual review soon. If you have any suggestions for potential reviewers, please let me know here in this thread (without tagging them with an @).

[mstimberg]

@editorialbot add @rerickson-usgs as reviewer

Thanks again for helping out with this review 🙏

[editorialbot]

@rerickson-usgs added to the reviewers list!

[misken]

Thank you. This is my first submission to JOSS and don't have any reviewer suggestions. It's a pretty straightforward application and reviewers wouldn't need any special background beyond basic applied statistics.

[mstimberg]

@editorialbot add @HLasse as reviewer

Thanks again for agreeing to review 🙏

[editorialbot]

@HLasse added to the reviewers list!

[mstimberg]

@editorialbot start review

[editorialbot]

OK, I've started the review over in #6154.
