Call for @joss reviewers:

EdgeVPN.io
repo: github.com/EdgeVPNio/evio
pre-review: github.com/openjournals/joss-r
language: Python

Description:

EdgeVPN.io is an evolution of the IP-over-P2P (IPOP) project. IPOP started as an IP-based peer-to-peer overlay targeting personal devices, and over time the architecture evolved to adopt various standards, support centralized user/group management, and incorporate software-defined networking, culminating in the current architecture, tailored for research and development in nascent edge computing applications.
...
EdgeVPNio is a research project to build networking for the fog, spanning the network continuum from the cloud to its edge. It builds networking cyber-infrastructure which supports emerging IoT era applications.

Looks like this one might be a bit of fun for #p2p people, or i suppose #DistributedSystems people generally. No prior experience reviewing for JOSS is required, experience with Python is required, and some experience with the topic area is preferred. Don't be shy! If you've never done open review before, JOSS is a great place to start. It's a really good way to learn by teaching (or learn by reading!) in a collaborative context. You can reply here or on the pre-review issue to volunteer :)

edit: would love to have some infosec people on this one! even and especially if you are not in academia :)

Instead of only proposing how to do research—in this case how to select claims that need #replication — in a paper, we invite alternatives, improvements, criticisms in commentaries, creating open dialogue instead of black box reviews open.lnu.se/index.php/metapsyc #metascience #OpenReview #openscience target paper w/ Peder Isager and @lakens here osf.io/preprints/metaarxiv/knj

Still looking for a second reviewer for @pyOpenSci

Package: automata
review: github.com/pyOpenSci/software-
repo: github.com/caleb531/automata
description: A Python library for simulating finite automata, pushdown automata, and Turing machines.

Open reviews are a great way to learn by teaching, see what other people are up to, and make software development a valued and creditable part of academic work. Anyone with familiarity with Python is welcome as a reviewer, experience in the topic domain is a bonus but not required. DM me or reply on the above issue, it's fun, i promise! :)

edit: reviewer found! thank you @iris <3

I'm looking for reviewers for two packages at the moment:

Automata (@pyOpenSci )
Review: github.com/pyOpenSci/software-
Repo: github.com/caleb531/automata
A #Python library for simulating finite #automata, pushdown automata, and Turing machines.

Kirstine.jl
( @joss )
Review: github.com/openjournals/joss-r
Repo: sr.ht/~lsandig/Kirstine.jl
A #Julia package for Bayesian optimal experimental design with nonlinear regression models.

You'll be working with another reviewer to read and run the code, make sure it fills a basic checklist which usually only takes a few hours, and beyond that whatever youd like to focus on. Both of these are collaborative review processes where the goal is to help these packages be usable, well documented, and maintainable for the overall health of free scientific software.

Its fun, I promise! Happy to answer questions and boosts welcome.

Edit: feel free to volunteer as a reply here, DM me, or commenting on those issues! Anyone is welcome! Some experience with the language required, but other than that I can coach you through the rest.

🌟BIG ANNOUNCEMENT🌟
We’ve upgraded our
@ORCID_Org membership, so we can now more fully credit you for your contributions to open, peer preprint review! 🙌
Starting this week, we’ll be writing PREreview peer review activity to users’ ORCID profiles after they opt-in to this feature.
Greater recognition and more credit for the important work that peer reviewers do!

PREreview Blog · PREreview gives you credit for your public review activity on ORCIDBig news: PREreview.org can now write to ORCID! We’ve recently upgraded our ORCID membership which means that we can more fully credit your contributions to open, peer preprint review by sharing your public PREreviews to your ORCID profile.

One of the things I keep thinking about in my #PhD is the need for an #academic #conference service in universities that handles the logistics of running workshops, symposia, conferences, etc.

From what I can see, this work is done by academics, and while they often do a great job, it's not their core skill set, and it takes away from key research activities.

The service offering I see this service having would be venue booking, AV setup, hybrid conference arrangement, CfP and papers talks and proceeding management, website production, as well as some form of social media and promotional management.

There are platforms - like #OpenReview - that handle *parts* of this service, but we need an integrated service offering, preferably at the whole of sector level ...

Continued thread

However, please note that the download is quite large, almost 135 GB, and many peer review files are in PDF format (due to reviewers using LaTeX or figures). In light of recent controversies about MDPI, we believe it's important to study these reviews. Papers frequently have more than 4 reviewers over multiple rounds. You can analyze these reviews qualitatively, but we recommend using NLP and quantitative tools for a more thorough analysis. #metascience #openreview #openscience 2/2

Replied in thread

@nsaphra i think should enable an upvote/downvote feature - last I heard from them they were working on something similar. Conferences like ICLR already allow public comments during review, but its public nature doesn’t allow anonymous criticism (which is good imo, as it helps weed out trolls). A reddit style voting feature might allow an AC to take account of these issues.
