👋 @lheagy - the submitting author suggested you as the handling editor.

[arfon]

👋 @gidden: this PR fixes the YAML of your paper: IAMconsortium/pyam#144

[gidden]

Thanks again @arfon, PR is merge. This is my first submission to JOSS, will @whedon automatically rerender pdfs upon updates to master or do we need to explicitly ask it to do so?

[arfon]

we need to explicitly ask it to do so?

You'll need to request another build. You can do this with @whedon generate pdf

👋 Hi @arfon and @gidden: I am happy to be the editor on this. You might have to be a bit patient with me - I am in the middle of moving; please don't hesitate to ping me if you are waiting for a response from me. I will start looking for reviewers later today.

[lheagy]

Hi @gidden: Thanks for your submission!

One quick think that I suggest is that you might consider including reference to "Climate science" in your title (the term "models" is very general, and from the title, it is not necessarily clear which domain of science the software is relevant to)

[lheagy]
