Error reading bibliography ./paper.bib (line 2, column 9):
unexpected "."
expecting letter, digit, white space, "#", "," or "}"
Error running filter pandoc-citeproc:

Looks like we failed to compile the PDF

👋 @lucaspompeun - JOSS is a journal for research software, but this submission does not appear to be research software; it instead appears to be a database and data. Given this, I don't think it's suitable for JOSS and suggest it be withdrawn, but if you have a different opinion and want to argue how it is suitable for JOSS, please do.

Hi @danielskatz - Nowadays, with the increasing of data science, databases are becoming to play a central role to some scientific areas, such as bioinformatics with NCBI, PDB and others, with this increasing in mind, the airbase have the purpose of offer scientists the oportunity to acess a wide variety of dat seligs relevant data to provide a precision in new researchs at aerodesign area. I hope you understand the scientific purpose of this work :)

My concern is not the scientific value, but that JOSS is a software journal, and this doesn't appear to be software.

I see your point. The idea was to produce the database with a web interface, to easyer the acess for scientists, since our target are physicists and engineers. The database can be used in a offline way, but I don't signalized this on README.md, it's just download the repository and open the "index.html" file. We have a future idea to update the offline repository with an API, since the current update must be manual, downloading the folder "dat".

I'm going to mark this as withdrawn for now - if you can turn it into software, please feel free to resubmit at that time.
