I just did my 1st review for #JOSS and wanted to share my experience. Iliked quite a bit the streamlined process, the open nature of the review, the flexible review deadline and the helpful bot assistant. I liked the manuscript format quite a bit : the tight word limit makes the papers tight & focused on the topline stuff, forcing one to build strong repos for the rest of the material.
More journals should follow @joss process of transparent real time interaction among authors and reviewers!

Extremely positive experience (summarized in Mastodon https://mstdn.science/@ChristosArgyrop/115879839460272337).

If you are developing research open source software, strongly consider submitting to JOSS!

Happy to announce that our #JOSS paper on #MotilA is now published 😊

MotilA is an #OpenSource #Python pipeline for quantifying microglial fine-process motility in 3D/4D in vivo multiphoton #imaging data. It is specifically designed for reproducible, batch-scale analysis.

The paper describes the methodology, implementation, and scope of the software:
