👋 @davidwoodburn - I'm going to reject this submission, as there is no software in the submitted repo. Assuming you have a repo with software in it that you are want to have reviewed and published, please add your paper to that repo (perhaps in a branch) and submit that. Once you do so, I will likely ask the JOSS editors to review the submission to check to see if it meets the JOSS substantial scholarly effort and if it is research software as defined by JOSS.

[danielskatz]

@editorialbot reject

[editorialbot]

Paper rejected.

[davidwoodburn]

I'm confused. I provided the gitlab link to the repo at the point of submission and I included it in the paper itself. Are you telling me that my project (not just the paper) must be hosted on GitHub?

[danielskatz]

Yes, that's correct. JOSS reviews open-source software that is on a Git-based platform where anyone can create issues and pull requests, such as GitHub or GitLab or similar. In addition, the JOSS review process runs on GitHub, as you can see here.

Again, the submission should be of the Git-based repo where the software is hosted, and the paper should also be in that repo, either in the main branch or a different branch.

[davidwoodburn]

I see. I thought I had to have the paper on GitHub. I'll resubmit then. Thank you for the quick reply.
