Hi @gadomski and thanks for your submission! I am looking for some specific items to make sure your submission fits our requirements at a high level (not at the more detailed review level) before moving on to finding an editor or putting this on our waitlist if no relevant editors are available. I'll comment over time as I have a chance to go through them:

• OSI-approved license
• Installation instructions
• Documentation exists at all
• Tests of some sort
• Check paper (make sure compiles, read through, check for length 250-1000 words)
• Substantial scholarly effort
• Clear research application

In the meantime, please take a look at the comments above ⬆️ from the editorialbot to address any DOI, license, or paper issues if you're able (there may not be any), or suggest reviewers. For reviewers, please suggest 5 reviewers from the database listed above or your own (non-conflicted) extended network. Their github handles are most useful to receive but please don't use "@" to reference them since it will prematurely ping them.

[gadomski]

Thanks @kthyng! A couple possible reviewers just from a quick search of the database:

• rwegener2
• ianturton
• giswqs
• weiji14
• busstoptaktik

Those are kind of just guesses though 🤷🏼

Please check the capitalization in your references. You can preserve capitalization by placing {} around characters/words in your .bib file.

I just wish your package handled every problem with longitude for every user! 😆

[kthyng]

We have a backlog of submissions so I will add this to our waitlist. Thanks for your patience.

Should be fixed by gadomski/antimeridian#152, thanks for the catch! TIL.

Right?! We do what we can but it's a messy world out there.
