⚠️ An error happened when generating the pdf. Problem with ORCID (0000-0000-0000-0000) for Caitlin Begbie. Invalid ORCID.

[warrickball]

@astrophpeter — Thanks for your submission! All the suitable JOSS editors are currently working at capacity so I'm going to "waitlist" this review until an editor with the relevant expertise is available to take it on. Thanks for your patience!

In the meantime, if you could try to fix the errors in the paper. If Caitlin Begbie doesn't have an ORCID, you can just remove that line from their metadata.

As indicated, the DOI error looks like it's because the full URL (including https://doi.org/) has been given for Greenfield et al. (2015). You should replace this with just the DOI.

Finally, note that your paper is a bit long for JOSS. As mentioned in the docs,

The paper should be between 250-1000 words. Authors submitting papers significantly longer than 1000 words may be asked to reduce the length of their paper.

If you could squeeze it back under 1000 words, that'd be great.

[astrophpeter]

Thanks, Warrick. I will attempt to fix those issues shortly.
