Attempting PDF compilation. Reticulating splines etc...

[whedon]

PDF failed to compile for issue #1571 with the following error:

Error reading bibliography ./paper.bib (line 13, column 3):
unexpected "a"
expecting space, ",", white space or "}"
Error running filter pandoc-citeproc:
Filter returned error status 1
Looks like we failed to compile the PDF

Hi @danielskatz -- I am able to serve as an editor and apologize for the delay.

[poulson]

@whedon assign @poulson as editor

[whedon]

OK, the editor is @poulson

[poulson]

Hi Camille (@camillescott) -- Given your expertise in C++ and Cython, as well as graphs, complex networks, and workflows, I think you would be an ideal reviewer for this submission. Would you have the time and interest in doing so?

Hi Rodrigo (@hausen) -- Given your expertise in C++, combinatorics, and graph theory, I believe you would be of great help in reviewing the C++ and graph analysis sides of this submission. Do you happen to have the time and interest to serve in this review process?

Hi Valentino (@vc1492a) -- Given your python expertise, as well as your background in graph analysis and complex networks, I believe you would be a perfect complement to Rodrigo's potential C++ focus. Would you have the time and bandwidth to serve in this process?

Hi @gabrielspadon -- You listed very similar expertise as Valentino, and I believe you would similarly be a perfect complement to the C++ expertise of Rodrigo in this review. Do you have the time and interest to help with the review?

[hausen]

@poulson , I'll be glad to help!

[poulson]

@whedon add @hausen as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @hausen is now a reviewer

[poulson]

Sorry for the spam. Editing from my phone is dangerous!

[vc1492a]

@poulson thanks for the consideration! Unfortunately I don't really have the bandwidth to perform any reviews at this time. Best of luck, I took a peek at the package and it looks like it would have made for an interesting review.

Hi Scott (@stsievert): I apologize if I've asked you to review too many times, but you were recommended as a relevant reviewer for this paper. Would you have the time and interest in doing so?

Hi Oscar (@oesteban): David recommended you as a reviewer for this paper; would you be interested and confident in serving as a reviewer?

Hi Sarat (@sarats): You were recommended as an expert reviewer for this paper on Constrained Shortest Path problems: do you have the time and interest to serve as a reviewer?

[oesteban]

Hi @poulson, I'd love to review this submission, but I'm currently swamped and also 2 days away from a break period. Sorry I have to decline. Good luck with this submission @torressa !

[stsievert]

I can review this. I have moderate interest, but no experience in shortest path algorithms. I can reserve some time for this.

[poulson]

Thank you Oscar (@oesteban) and Scott (@stsievert). I will go ahead and add you two and start the review. Moderate interest is...an interesting way to put it...but I don't want to delay the review any further.

[poulson]

@whedon add @oesteban as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @oesteban is now a reviewer

[poulson]

@whedon add @stsievert as reviewer

[whedon]

[poulson]

@whedon start review

[whedon]

OK, I've started the review over in https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/1655. Feel free to close this issue now!
