Apologies for the paper not rendering -- the paper lives in https://github.com/ropensci/terrainr/tree/paper which I could specify in the pre-submission rendering service, but I couldn't figure out how to provide the branch to the actual submission workflow.

👋 @mikemahoney218 - if you can remove the entries in the .bib file that aren't used, that will simply our checks. Whedon checks everything in that file, whether it is used in the paper or not, unfortunately.

[danielskatz]

You can use the commands I gave to check this. note that whedon commands must be the first thing in a comment

[danielskatz]

👋 @kbarnhart - would you be willing to edit this submission?

I can handle this.

I see that this package has already gone through and passed the rOpenSci peer review

ropensci/software-review#416

@danielskatz this is the first time I've handled an rOpenSci paper. Looking at the docs, it looks straightforward.

Am I correct to thing that this submission should follow the procedure described in this part of the docs?

[kbarnhart]

@whedon assign @kbarnhart as editor

[whedon]

OK, the editor is @kbarnhart

[danielskatz]

Sorry, I missed the rOpenSci part - given that, you don't need to do anything, I will take care of it.

[danielskatz]

@whedon assign me as editor

[whedon]

OK, the editor is @danielskatz

[danielskatz]

[kbarnhart]

Sounds good @danielskatz, thanks!

[danielskatz]

@whedon assign @danielskatz as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @danielskatz is now a reviewer

[danielskatz]

@whedon start review

[whedon]

OK, I've started the review over in #4060.
