👋 @jsdodge - thanks for your submission. You may have seen that our DOI checker has found a citation in your .bib file without a DOI. Given that you don't use this in the paper, you can either add the DOI or remove it from the .bib file.

Once you do either one, please use the command @editorialbot check references to check again. editorialbot commands need to be the first entry in a new comment.

Thanks @jsdodge - We're having some internal discussion about which JOSS track this should be in, and once we decide, the appropriate track editor will start working on finding an editor.

[crvernon]

@editorialbot invite @bmcfee as editor

👋 @bmcfee - can you take this one on as editor? Thanks!

[editorialbot]

Invitation to edit this submission sent!

[bmcfee]

Sorry, I don't think I can add this one to my stack right now.

Hey howdy JOSS team, I'd like to chime in from PyOpenSci that THzTools has been accepted through PyOpenSci's review process and I believe that helps streamline the review process for JOSS.

PyOpenSci THzTools review: pyOpenSci/software-submission#209

[danielskatz]

@banesullivan - thanks, I missed this initially. Yes, in this case we can make this much simpler. @crvernon or I can do the work ourselves without needed another editor.

[jsdodge]

Excellent, thanks!
