For the editor, once they're assigned:
If chosen as a reviewer, I'd be happy to review this work.

However, I'd like to quickly check about JOSS' Conflict of Interest policy (https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reviewer_guidelines.html), since I'm still new to open review (not blind). The submitting author @ramaniitrgoyal92 and I are professional acquaintances who have discussed research before and compared our past publications, but have not collaborated on funded work or authorship, and are not members of the same institution. Normally this wouldn't be a problem for single-blind review, but does it pose a challenge for open review? Either way, I believe I can provide an "impartial assessment," but would like to disclose our relationship before agreeing to be a reviewer.

[Datseris]

Hello. Thank you for invitation but I do not have the expertise to review this:

• I do not know anything about MATLAB (I actually have never seen MATLAB code)
• I do not have the scientific expertise on the area the submitted TEAM software is tackling, which seems to be around control systems.

I will have to pass on this, sorry.

@whedon assign @Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman as editor

[whedon]

OK, the editor is @Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@apsabelhaus thanks for raising the conflict of interest issue. I'll add you as a reviewer but will also recruit others. Thanks

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@whedon assign @apsabelhaus as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, the reviewer is @apsabelhaus

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@vaishnavtv @ctdegroot since you were involved with #1042, would you be interested in helping with this review?

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@ramaniitrgoyal92 Please rename your paper to paper.md, this way @whedon will find it okay to render the PDF. Thanks

[ctdegroot]

@Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman Yes, I can help with this review.

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@apsabelhaus @ctdegroot thanks for helping with this review. We have to iron out some things with the paper and I hope to recruit an additional reviewer. I'll ping you again when we are ready to start the review process.

[vaishnavtv]

@Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman, I would love to help with the review, but under full disclosure, I'd like to state that the submitting author and I are personally acquainted and are pursuing a graduate degree from the same institution. We have not officially collaborated on any research, but our advisors have worked together in the past. If this violates any reviewer policies based on a conflict of interest, kindly let me know.

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

Thanks @vaishnavtv (sorry I accidentally tagged you in the comment above I just edited) for reporting that potential conflict of interest. If you'd like to help your help is still appreciated. I will however recruit an additional reviewer.

[ramaniitrgoyal92]

@arfon @Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman Thanks for reminding! I have changed the file name.

👉 Check article proof 📄 👈

[apsabelhaus]

great, happy to be a reviewer. @ramaniitrgoyal92 I'll probably need at least three weeks to get around to this - my dissertation draft is due to my committee ASAP - so you can expect my first round of comments during mid-July. @Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman let me know when the process is ready to start and that checklist is up. 👍

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@Jfriesen222 would you be interested in reviewing this work on tensegrity modelling for JOSS? The review process will focus on the software and this short paper.

[apsabelhaus]

@Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman is the review thread started for this submission yet? I'm available to start the review process, but can't seem to find the link to e.g. the checklist.

[apsabelhaus]

@ramaniitrgoyal92 while we're waiting for the official review to open, I added a first issue in the repo about organization and documentation, so there's something to start on! Also, the paper is missing references [???], probably a bug in the latex.

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@whedon add @vaishnavtv as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @vaishnavtv is now a reviewer

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@whedon add @ctdegroot as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @ctdegroot is now a reviewer

@whedon start review

[whedon]

OK, I've started the review over in #1613. Feel free to close this issue now!

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

The review has started over at #1613 however additional reviewers are still welcome. Contact me if interested.
