Hi @baxmittens and thanks for your submission. I am going to ping the editorial board to take a look due to its relatively small size. This process will take 1-2 weeks, thanks.

[baxmittens]

Hi @kthyng
thank you for your efforts.
Please note that I subdivided this project into several github projects for better reusability

The underlying packages are

https://github.com/baxmittens/DistributedSparseGrids.jl

https://github.com/baxmittens/VTUFileHandler.jl

https://github.com/baxmittens/DistributedMonteCarlo.jl

https://github.com/baxmittens/Ogs6InputFileHandler.jl

https://github.com/baxmittens/XDMFFileHandler.jl

the first two have their own joss papers.

This is the third, and last, Joss paper for this project.

[danielskatz]

@baxmittens - Can you be explicit about which software you consider part of this submission?

[baxmittens]

@danielskatz

I don't really know how to answer this.

Hi @baxmittens and thanks for your submission. I am going to ping the editorial board to take a look due to its relatively small size. This process will take 1-2 weeks, thanks.

This answer really confuses me. Why should it be a bad thing that my software is of small size?
I outsourced each functionality which can be used in a broader range of applications in its own package. As I think it should be done.

OGSUQ.jl is an umbrella project for all the others.

But I think in the end OGSUQ.jl is a toolbox for wrapping a stochastic model around a deterministic OpenGeoSys model and the consequent integration over the defined stochastic state space.

That should be sufficient for an JOSS Paper right?

[danielskatz]

@baxmittens - I think you are mixing up two things here. @kthyng wrote the message you've quoted above, not me. But based on that and your response in #5981 (comment), I asked a clarifying question, about what software is associated with this submission.

The reason for this is that much like the fact that the same work shouldn't be published in multiple scientific papers, the same software shouldn't be published in multiple JOSS papers. So my question was which software is associated with this JOSS paper, as opposed to the software associated with the already published JOSS papers.

Additionally, this information is needed for the reviewers to know which software to review, if this submission goes to review.

Your answer doesn't really answer my question - it seems aimed at @kthyng's statement instead.

So I'll ask again, which software is associated with this paper?

[baxmittens]

Sorry, I misunderstood then.

Surely, it is about
https://github.com/baxmittens/OGSUQ.jl

The rest is just an explanation for why there are not that many lines of code.

The software has the unique feature that it produces a stochastic postprocessing result of the same form as the deterministic result. For example a VTU File with the expected value or variance dissolved in time and space as defined in the determinstic project

[kthyng]

@baxmittens Sorry for the extended delay. The JOSS editorial board has voted this submission to be out of scope due to its small size using the number of lines of code as a proxy for substantial scholarly effort. This is not meant to be a judgement on the software quality or usefulness, but in following our journal guidelines. You might consider other routes for publication or if this package expands under future development, you may consider submitting it then (and link to this issue). Thank you.
