[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@marjanAlbouye thanks for this submission. I am the EiC for this track and here to help with initial steps. I will start looking for a handling editor. For the moment can you try work on the following:

• Can you please try to address the above ☝️ potentially missing DOI's
• In your affiliations, can you please spell out USA as United States of America
• Please add clear contributing guidelines to your repository. We recommend adding a CONTRIBUTING.md file and to link to it in your readme. Here is a useful site showing examples of such a file: https://contributing.md/example/

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@editorialbot invite @lucydot as editor

[editorialbot]

Invitation to edit this submission sent!

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@lucydot do you think you can help edit this work? I think @danielskatz has offered to review so that is a nice start.

[danielskatz]

Sorry @Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman - I did not mean to volunteer to review. This is not in my expertise at that level.

@Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman Thank you. I addressed the comments in your last message.

Here is the list of our suggested reviewers:

• LIVazquezS
• srmnitc
• csadorf
• ptmerz
• rosecers

[lucydot]

@editorialbot assign me as editor

[editorialbot]

Assigned! @lucydot is now the editor

[lucydot]

Hi @LIVazquezS @csadorf @rosecers - are you available to review this submission to JOSS? It is molecular dynamics + Python + reproducible workflows, which appears in-line with some of your interests...

[LIVazquezS]

Hi @lucydot , Yes, I am available to review this work.

[csadorf]

@lucydot Yes, I can review this.

[rosecers]

@lucydot as it might be a COI to have @csadorf and I both reviewing, I'll opt out of this review. Let me know if you end up needing another round.

[abhishektiwari]

@lucydot I will be open to review this submission. Have worked with scientific workflow systems.

[lucydot]

Thanks @rosecers for your update, we now have three reviewers so your expertise won't be needed (for this one!).

Thanks @csadorf @LIVazquezS @abhishektiwari - I'll add you now as reviewers, and then ask our editorialbot to start a new thread for the review itself. There will be instructions generated at the top of the new thread. If you have any questions about the process please do contact me, the best place to do that will be over in that new thread.

[lucydot]

@editorialbot add @csadorf as reviewer

[editorialbot]

@csadorf added to the reviewers list!

[lucydot]

@editorialbot add @LIVazquezS as reviewer

[editorialbot]

@LIVazquezS added to the reviewers list!

[lucydot]

@editorialbot add @abhishektiwari as reviewer

[editorialbot]

@abhishektiwari added to the reviewers list!

[lucydot]

@editorialbot start review

[editorialbot]

OK, I've started the review over in #5989.
