@anilbey Dear author, thanks for this submission. I am the AEiC on this track and here to help process the initial steps, and to find a handling editor. Before we proceed, please can you have a look at the following points:

• Please study the above reference check ☝️ and see if you can address any of the reported potential DOI issues. You can add/amend DOI entries in your .bib file, and call @editorialbot check references here to check them again.
• Your project appears to lack contributing guidelines at the moment. Please work to add these and to mention/link to them in your README. You could for instance create a CONTRIBUTING.md file (see here for some examples: https://contributing.md/example/).

Secondly, as you can see I have just added the waitlisted label. This is because currently all editors in this domain are preoccupied with other submissions. We will assign an editor as soon as one becomes available.

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@britta-wstnr you are handling several other submissions already, but is this work something you could help edit once you are available? Thanks!

[britta-wstnr]

@Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman absolutely - if it's not a problem that I'll be on a 3 week summer leave soon?

[anilbey]

Hi @Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman thanks for mentioning the two points. I addressed the CONTRIBUTING file here BlueBrain/BlueCelluLab#190.
