:wave: @karthik - would you be willing to edit this submission for JOSS?

[karthik]

@arfon sure

[karthik]

@whedon assign @karthik as editor

[whedon]

OK, the editor is @karthik

[arfon]

👋 @karthik - any chance we can assign some reviewers to get this moving along?

[karthik]

@arfon Several declines, have approached more folks.

[karthik]

@arfon Im not able to find anyone to review this. @ansgarwenzel do you have any suggestions?

[ansgarwenzel]

@karthik
I will think about it and ask around. It*s not the easiest, being at the intersection of package and algebraic knot theory

[karthik]

@ansgarwenzel It's been very hard at my end as well. I'll keep looking but if you have any potential users in mind (without any conflicts of interest) please suggest names/github handles.

[akhmerov]

@labarba thanks for the invitation, but unfortunately this is too far
outside of my domain that I don't feel knowledgeable enough to review even
the basic domain-specific aspects.

Thanks, Anton! I believe I read "homology" and thought "topology" 😬

[labarba]

👋 @ansgarwenzel Since you already published a Software Metapaper in JORS, would this submission (if accepted) amount to a duplicate publication of the same work?

[labarba]

We haven't heard from you in a while, @ansgarwenzel — If you still want us to go ahead with assigning an editor and looking for reviewers, I would ask that you justify how this submission is set apart from the JORS paper, and confirm that we're not looking at duplicate publication of the same work. Thanks!

@karthik I could review this given a bit of time. I've spent some time thinking about de Rham cohomology and it seems that the core of the project is an adaptation of Gaussian elimination (which I have definitely spent some time thinking about!).

[poulson]

Hi @karthik. I can review this if you would like.

[labarba]

Before we start the review, I would like a response from the authors on my question from 22 days ago:

justify how this submission is set apart from the JORS paper, and confirm that we're not looking at duplicate publication of the same work

[labarba]

Since the authors have not responded to my query, I will mark this as "paused" for now — ping @openjournals/joss-eics to continue in consideration.

[labarba]

Hello, @ansgarwenzel — We had a discussion in the editorial board about your submission, and decided that publication in JOSS here would indeed constitute a duplicate publication, and the submission should be withdrawn.
