@loicdtx Can you take a look at the error above? It seems to be stopping the automatic processes from running.

[loicdtx]

Dear @kthyng thanks for handling this pre-review.

About potential reviewers

From the list of people that have agreed to review I have identified two potential good fit:

• Tobias Seydewitz (tobijjah)
• Sarah Zwiep (szwiep)

And another not in the list:

• Alex Leith (alexgleith)

Regarding the error

I double checked everything (repository is public and url is correct, branch name is correct, manuscript builds flawlessly using the docker image) and couldn't find the source of the issue. Could it just be bad luck?

@editorialbot generate pdf

[editorialbot]

⚠️ An error happened when generating the pdf.

[loicdtx]

Build is still failing at the download/clone stage. I explored https://github.com/xuanxu/theoj/blob/main/lib/theoj/paper.rb and https://github.com/xuanxu/paper-action/blob/main/get_paper.rb but couldn't figure out anything obvious; I also don't know much ruby.
I tried cloning fully anonymously (from a clean docker container) and that worked fine (git clone -b joss-paper https://github.com/ec-jrc/nrt)

Therefore still a mystery to me why that build does not succeed!

[kthyng]

@openjournals/dev Could you help debug this paper compilation error? Thank you!

[danielskatz]

This is an error that's happened on a few submissions over the last few days, and it seems to be somewhat transient.

Thanks @danielskatz we can try again in a little bit.

Hi @loicdtx and thanks for your submission! I am looking for some specific items to make sure your submission fits our requirements at a high level (not at the more detailed review level) before moving on to finding an editor or putting this on our waitlist if no relevant editors are available. I'll comment over time as I have a chance to go through them:

• OSI-approved license
• Installation instructions
• Documentation
• Tests of some sort
• Check paper
• Substantial scholarly effort
• Clear research application/in scope

In the meantime, please take a look at the comments above ⬆️ from the editorialbot to address any DOI, license, or paper issues if you're able (there may not be any), or suggest reviewers. For reviewers, please suggest 5 reviewers from the database listed above or your own (non-conflicted) extended network. Their github handles are most useful to receive but please don't use "@" to reference them since it will prematurely ping them.

[kthyng]

We have a backlog of submissions so I will add this to our waitlist. Thanks for your patience.

[AdamRJensen]

@editorialbot assign @AdamRJensen as editor

[editorialbot]

Assigned! @AdamRJensen is now the editor

[AdamRJensen]

👋 @tobijjah, @szwiep, @alexgleith, would you be willing to review this submission for JOSS? We carry out our checklist-driven reviews here in GitHub issues and follow these guidelines: https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/review_criteria.html

[alexgleith]

I'm open to reviewing this, sure, @AdamRJensen.

[szwiep]

Happy to review but I won't have time until June 15th. Let me know if that works, @AdamRJensen.

[AdamRJensen]

[loicdtx]

Thanks everyone, editors and reviewers; great to see that review moving so fast!
In the meantime I have added missing DOIs to most bib entries as suggested by the review bot.

[alexgleith]

What is the practical implementation of the review checklist? Do I create a comment and check through the items? Or does that get added to the issue up the top and I complete it there?

[AdamRJensen]

@editorialbot start review

[editorialbot]

OK, I've started the review over in #6815.
