Attempting PDF compilation. Reticulating splines etc...

Failed to discover a valid open source license.

PDF failed to compile for issue #1772 with the following error:

Could not find bibliography file: simode.bib
Error running filter pandoc-citeproc:
Filter returned error status 1
Looks like we failed to compile the PDF

@ramiyaari - I see some high-level issues here:

• no readme
• no license

Please see https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/submitting.html#typical-paper-submission-flow

Also, in your paper, you say the bib is "bibliography: simode.bib" but it's actually "paper.bib" - please fix this, then enter @whedon generate pdf as a new comment in this issue to recompile.
