Good morning @meg-simula
Thanks for being part of this amazing journal.
I'm wondering if my submission has been forgotten since it's been in pre-review for a while, but I understand we are in a pandemic summer so I don't expect things to go fast. I was just wondering.
Thank you again,
Felix Chenier

[felixchenier]

Good morning @kthyng

I don't know if this is standard since I this is my first submission to JOSS, but my manuscript has been in pre-review for nearly 2 months and I couldn't receive news from the editor (@meg-simula).

If this is standard or to be expected during this pandemic summer, please disregard this message.

Thank you and best regards,

Félix Chénier

[meg-simula]

@felixchenier Thank you for the submission! I have been out of office due to summer holidays, hence the delayed handling (not at all standard handling time). Will have a look shortly.

[meg-simula]

@felixchenier Thanks again for your submission of Kinetics toolkit; it looks well within the JOSS scope.

If you have any suggestions for potential reviewers then please mention them here in this thread (without tagging them with an @). In addition, this list of people have already agreed to review for JOSS and may be suitable for this submission (please start at the bottom of the list).

Just a reminder that this manuscript has now been in pre-review for three months. I certainly don't want to look insistant, it is simply a reminder.

Thank you

No I can't, as I have a large review obligation elsewhere at the moment.
