Hello human, I'm @whedon, a robot that can help you with some common editorial tasks.

⚠️ JOSS reduced service mode ⚠️

Due to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, JOSS is currently operating in a "reduced service mode". You can read more about what that means in our blog post.

For a list of things I can do to help you, just type:

👋 @MrMinimal64 - thanks for your submission to JOSS. Could you please add a few sentences to your paper to help those less intensely involved in mathematics understand the downstream applications of this work? That would help to assess the impact of the effort and help clarify the range of research users who would be impacted by this.

Also, as described in our blog post announcing the reopening of JOSS, we're currently working in a "reduced service mode", limiting the number of papers assigned to any individual editor.

Since reopening JOSS earlier in the week we've had > 50 papers submitted and as such, yours has been put in our backlog that we will be working through over the coming weeks and months.

Thanks in advance for your patience!

Hello @arfon, thanks for your quick response. Could you tell me which parts I should clarify or which parts are unclear? I thought I had described the advantages and potential use cases of the package extensively in the first section "Summary". The following sections give a more detailed explanation of the implemented approach and underpin the advantages with benchmarks.

I am looking forward to your review.

should I suggest reviewers myself?

Hello @arfon, thanks for your quick response. Could you tell me which parts I should clarify or which parts are unclear?

I think a little more detail in the summary section would be useful. For example, are there applied research fields where the factorisation of multivariate polynomials is a key aspect of the research work/analysis?

should I suggest reviewers myself?

Yes, please go ahead but as I mentioned above, we won't actually begin the review process until an editor is assigned to this paper which may be some time due to a large backlog of submissions.

I clarified the possible application of this package in the paper and added example applications where the package is already being used.

Based on the topics (applied mathematics, numerical analysis...) and preferred language (Python) they provided, I suggest the following reviewers:
