 ## Is Your Package in Scope For pyOpenSci Review?
 
-pyOpenSci only reviews packages that fall within our specified domain and
-technical scope listed below.
+pyOpenSci reviews packages that fall within a list of specified categories and
+domains. Packages must also meet our technical scope requirements.
 
 If you are unsure whether your package is in scope for review, please
 open a [pre-submission inquiry using a GitHub Issue](https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-review/issues/new?assignees=&labels=0%2Fpresubmission&template=presubmission-inquiry.md&title=) to get feedback from
 one of our editors. We are happy to look at your package and help you understand
 whether it is in scope or not.

+### About the types of packages that we review
+
+pyOpenSci reviews packages that support open reproducible science,
+data processing and and the various stages of managing the
+data lifecycle. Packages submitted to pyOpenSci should fit into one or
+more of the categories below and should be within our technical scope.
+
+```{admonition} Your Package Does Not Need to Have Widespread Use to be Reviewed
+:class: important
+
+We review packages with the goal of improving package quality and usability for scientists.
+As such, we review packages across a spectrum of small to large user bases. The popularity of your package is not a consideration in our review process!
+
+When we evaluate whether you package is within our scope, we only consider:
+
+1. how the package is developed and
+2. how the package relates to and supports the broader scientific ecosystem.
+
+We welcome young packages that are just entering the scientific Python
+ecosystem to apply for review if they are relevant to the science community and
+fit into at least one scope category below. We also welcome mature packages with
+a growing or established community!
+```
+
+If you are unsure whether your package fits into one of the general or
+statistical categories, please open an issue as a [pre-submission inquiry](https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/new?assignees=&labels=0%2Fpresubmission&template=presubmission-inquiry.md&title=).
+
+```{note}
+This is a living document. The categories below may change through time.
+This may mean in some cases, some previously peer review-accepted packages
+may not be in-scope today. We strive for consistency in our peer review process. However, we also evaluate packages on a case-by-case basis.
+In some cases exceptions are made.
+```
+
+## Package categories
+
+The following are the current categories that fall into scope for
+pyOpenSci. In addition to fitting into one or more of these categories, your package should have some level of
+demonstrated scientific application. This could be a use case that you can
+link to or a tutorial that demonstrates its potential application for science.
+
+Below we provide examples of packages from pyOpenSci ecosystem. Because we
+have growing community of packages, in some cases we link to R packages
+within the rOpenSci community that match the category scope for reference.
+
+We will update this page as our review process evolves.
+
+```{note}
+Many of the example packages below perform tasks that might fit in multiple
+categories. There examples are there to provide you with a flavor of the types
+of packages that would fall into that category.
 ```
 
+### Data retrieval
+Packages for accessing and downloading data from online sources. This category
+includes wrappers for accessing APIs.
+
+Our definition of scientific applications is broad, including data storage
+services, journals, and other remote servers, as many data sources may be of
+interest to scientists. However, retrieval packages should be focused on data
+sources / topics, rather than services. For example a general client for Amazon
+Web Services data storage would not be in-scope.
+
+* Examples: [OpenOmics](https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/31), [pyDov](https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/19), [Physcraper](https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-review/issues/26)
+
+
+### Data extraction
+
+These packages aid in retrieving data from unstructured sources such as text,
+images, and PDFs. They might also parse scientific data types and outputs from
+scientific equipment.
+
+* Examples: [devicely](https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/37), [jointly](https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/45)
+
+### Data processing & munging
+
+Data [munging tools transform data in a way that makes further analysis possible (as [defined on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_wrangling)). Munging complements the other categories so it's common for packages to include some functionality to munge data. This
+category focuses on tools for handling data in specific formats that scientists
+may be interested in working with. These data may also be generated from
+scientific workflows or exported from instruments and wearables.
+
+* Examples: [devicely](https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/37), [jointly](https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/45), [MovingPandas](https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/18), [OpenOmics](https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/31), [Physcraper](https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/26)
+
+
+### Data deposition
+
+Tools for depositing data into scientific research repositories.
+
+* Examples: [This is an example from rOpenSci - eml](https://github.com/ropensci/software-review/issues/80)
+
+### Data validation and testing:
+
+Tools that enable automated validation and checking of data quality and
+completeness. These tools should be able to support scientific workflows.
+
+* Example: [pandera](https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/12)
+
+### Scientific software wrappers
+
+Scientific software wrappers refer to packages that provide a Python interface
+for existing scientific packages written in other languages.
+
+These packages should have a clear scientific application. Wrappers must provide
+significant added value to the scientific ecosystem be it in data handling, or
+improved installation processes for Python users.
+
+We strongly encourage submissions that wrap tools that are open-source with
+an OSI-approved license. Exceptions will be evaluated case-by-case,
+considering whether open-source options exist.
+
+* Examples: [PyGMT](https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/43)
+
+### Workflow automation & versioning
+Tools that automate and link together workflows and as such support
+reproducible workflows. These
+tools may include build systems and tools to manage continuous integration.
+This also includes tools that support version control.
+
+* Examples: Both of these tools are not pyOpenSci reviewed as of yet but are examples of tools that might be in scope for this category - [snakemake](https://snakemake.readthedocs.io/en/stable/), [pyGitHub ](https://github.com/PyGithub/PyGithub)
+
+### Citation management and bibliometrics:
+
+Tools that facilitate managing references, such as for writing manuscripts,
+creating CVs or otherwise attributing scientific contributions, or accessing,
+manipulating or otherwise working with bibliometric data. (Example: [Example from rOpenSci - RefManageR](https://github.com/ropensci/software-review/issues/119))
+
+### Data visualization & analysis
+These are packages that enhance a scientists experience visualizing and
+analyzing data.
+
+* Examples: [PyGMT - (also spatial and data munging)](https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/43),
+
+### Database software bindings
+
+ Bindings and wrappers for database APIs.
+
+ * Example: [Example from rOpenSci - rrlite](https://github.com/ropensci/software-review/issues/6)
+
+
+## Domain areas
+
+In addition, our scope includes focused domain areas. These areas are based on
+partnerships that we form with communities and also expertise that we hold
+within our organization. As we develop [new community partnerships](/partners/scientific-communities) and grow,
+we will expand this list.
+
+### Geospatial
+
+Packages focused on the retrieval, manipulation, and analysis of spatial data.
+
+* Examples: [PyGmt](https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/43),
+[Moving Pandas ](https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/18)
+
+### Pangeo
+
+We have a [partnership with Pangeo](../partners/pangeo). Often times packages submitted as a part of that partnership are also in the geospatial domain.
+
+* Examples: [xclim - under review now](https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/73)
+
+### Education
+
+Packages to aid with instruction.
+
+* Examples: [pyrolite](https://github.com/morganjwilliams/pyrolite)
+
+## Package technical scope
+
+To be in technical scope for a pyOpenSci review, your package:
+
+* Should have maintenance workflows documented.
+* Should declare vendor dependencies using standard approaches rather than including code from other packages within your repository.
+* Should not have an exceedingly complex structure. Others should be able to contribute and/or take over maintenance if needed.
+
+```{admonition} pyOpenSci's goal is to support long(er) term maintenance
+pyOpenSci has a goal of supporting long term maintenance of open source
+Python tools. It is thus important for us to know that if you need to step down as a maintainer, the package infrastructure and documentation is
+in place to support us finding a new maintainer who can take over you
+package's maintenance.
+```
+
+### What if my package seems like its category or domain is out of scope?
+- pyOpenSci is still developing as a community. If your scientific Python
+package does not fit into one of the categories or if you have any other
+questions, we'd encourage you to open a pre-submission inquiry. We're happy to help.
+- Data visualization packages come in many varieties, ranging from small
+hyper-specific methods for one type of data to general, do-it-all packages
+(e.g. matplotlib). pyOpenSci accepts packages that are somewhere in between the
+two. If you're interested in submitting your data visualization package, please
+open a pre-submission inquiry first.
+
+## Examples of packages that might be out of technical scope
+
+pyOpenSci may continue to update its criteria for technical scope
+review as more packages with varying structural approaches are reviewed.
+Your package **may not be in technical scope** for us to review at this time if
+fits any of the out-of-technical-scope criteria listed below.
+
+Your package is in technical scope if it is:
+* Pure Python or Python with built extensions
+* Available from PyPI and/or community conda channels such as conda-forge or bioconda
+
+Your package might be out of in technical scope if it is:
+* Not published in a community channel such as PyPI or a channel on anaconda cloud
+* Exceedingly complex in its structure or maintenance needs
+
+A few examples of packages that may be too technically challenging for us to
+find a new maintainer for in the future are below.
+
+### Example 1: Your package is an out of sync fork of another package repository that is being actively maintained.
+
+Sometimes we understand that a package maintainer may need to step down. In
+that case, we strongly suggest that the original package owner, transfer the
+package repository to a new organization along with PyPI credentials. A new
+organization would allow transfer of ownership of package maintenance rather
+than several forks existing.
+
+If your package is a divergent fork of a maintained repository we will encourage you
+to work with the original maintainers to merge efforts.
+
+However, if there is a case where a forked repository is warranted, please
+consider submitting a pre-submission inquiry first and explain why the package is a
+fork rather than an independent parent repository.
+
+### Example 2: Vendored dependencies
+
+If your package is a wrapper that wraps around another tool, we prefer that
+the dependency be added as a dependency to your package. This allows
+maintenance of the original code base to be independent from your package's
+maintenance.
