As this short list shows, JOSS papers are only permitted to contain a limited set of metadata (see header below), Statement of Need, Summary, and Reference sections. You can see an example accepted paper [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adrn/gala/f6bb2532afeed3c0b0feea3037bf71a3f42b2a12/paper/paper.md). Given this paper format, a "full length" paper is not permitted, e.g., software documentation such as API (Application Programming Interface) functionality should not be in the paper and instead should be outlined in the software documentation.

## Authorship

Purely financial (such as being named on an award) and organizational (such as general supervision of a research group) contributions are not considered sufficient for co-authorship of JOSS submissions, but active project direction and other forms of non-code contributions are. The authors themselves assume responsibility for deciding who should be credited with co-authorship, and co-authors must always agree to be listed. In addition, co-authors agree to be accountable for all aspects of the work.
