@ifoxfoot Hi! I don't see any code — where is your software repository?

[ifoxfoot]

@kthyng Hi! It is in the repository here https://github.com/EcoModTeam/SAMPL. The code is in the file called SAMPL.nlogo. Let me know if it's not showing up for you!

[ifoxfoot]

@kthyng re suggested reviewers. It looks like there is one published JOSS paper that is about a NetLogo model. I would recommend the authors of this paper https://joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21105/joss.05731 as reviewers.

[kthyng]

Hi @ifoxfoot 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.

Ok this will be tricky to find reviewers for this sort of niche paper – please dig deep for more reviewer suggestions if you can!
