Attempting PDF compilation. Reticulating splines etc...

👉 Check article proof 📄 👈

@whedon assign @danielskatz as editor

OK, the editor is @danielskatz

👋 @justinalsing - I note that you don't have DOIs in the references for papers - you can add them to the bib file, then rebuild the PDF by adding a comment here that just says

@whedon generate pdf

Also, do you have suggestions for reviewers? In particular, this list of people have already agreed to review for JOSS and may be suitable for this submission, though if you have suggestions outside the list, that's great too.

Also, as we get this started, please be aware of the review criteria that will be used, and make any other changes needed to make the review easier.

👋 @justinalsing - I am still hoping for suggestions for reviewers from you. In particular, this list of people have already agreed to review for JOSS and may be suitable for this submission, though if you have suggestions outside the list, that's great too.

Hi @danielskatz

I did a quick search through the list of reviewers for people with expertise in python, time-series analysis, and (bayesian) statistics, and came up with this short-list

ejolly
ghammad
taqtiqa-mark
lindemann09

That's probably a sensible place to start, I'll let you know if I come up with any more/better suggestions

Thanks,
Justin

Other possible suitable reviewers (expertise in python and climate science)

jtmiclat
Chilipp
sarats

I was also recommended mathause (not on the list of JOSS reviewers) by a colleague as probably well placed to review this code

👋 @ejolly & @ghammad - would one or both of you be willing to review this JOSS submission? I'm looking for a total of 2 reviewers

👋 @taqtiqa-mark & @lindemann09 - would one or both of you be willing to review this JOSS submission? I'm looking for a total of 2 reviewers

👋 @jtmiclat & @Chilipp - would one or both of you be willing to review this JOSS submission? I'm looking for a total of 2 reviewers

👋 @sarats & @mathause - would one or both of you be willing to review this JOSS submission? I'm looking for a total of 2 reviewers

looks interesting @danielskatz. I would be willing to review it but I won't be available before January 16th.

Thanks @Chilipp - this might be ok - let me see who else responds

@danielskatz If it's fine, I can get to it in a couple of weeks as well because of ECP and AMS conferences.

@danielskatz, sure I'm able to review this.

Thanks @taqtiqa-mark. I would like to find two reviewers, and as you can see, a couple of other people are willing to review but not for a couple of weeks. If I can find one more person willing to review soon, we'll start; otherwise, we'll start in a day or two with the expectation that the second review will be a bit later than yours. So hold on for a day or two...

I could also only start to review mid/ end of January. So I suppose others are able to do it earlier than me.

I'm going to wait one more day to see if anyone I've mentioned can start a review immediately, and if not, we'll start anyhow with the expectation that one reviewer won't start until mid January.

Sorry for the delayed response @danielskatz I've been traveling with limited access to email. Unfortunately, I too won't be able to start a review until the end of this month. Happy to do it then if that timeline works/makes sense.

Ok, let's go ahead with @taqtiqa-mark and @Chilipp, recognizing that @Chilipp won't be able to start for another week.

@whedon assign @taqtiqa-mark as reviewer

@whedon add @Chilipp as reviewer

OK, @Chilipp is now a reviewer

@whedon add @taqtiqa-mark as reviewer

OK, @taqtiqa-mark is now a reviewer

@whedon start review

OK, I've started the review over in #1157. Feel free to close this issue now!
