Hi Damien; thanks for your mail. We were semi-inspired by JOSS, but if I understand correctly, all of its reviews are world-readable and the reviewers' identities are public (can someone please confirm both points?). We're wondering if anyone's used a workflow that leverages GitHub but keeps reviews and reviewers' identities private. (But hm, I just realized that tweaks to the workflow would enable one without the other...)

Thanks,

Greg

Hi Greg,

I'm pretty sure that the Journal of Open Source Software runs its entire review process through GitHub. (Although I'm not sure how many of your dot points their process covers.)

There are a number of Software Carpentry people involved with that journal.


Cheers,
Damien

    Hi,

    I was speaking with a colleague last week about the possibility of
    using GitHub to manage paper submissions and reviews.  The journal
    in question doesn't do open/accredited reviews, so I was wondering
    if anyone had any experience with the following workflow:

    - author submits paper by sending URL of public GitHub repo to journal

    - journal creates private repo and merges author's submission into

    - journal creates temporary accounts with auto-generated names for
    reviewers and gives them access to the newly-created private repo

    - reviewers post comments: authors and editors can see
    them/respond to them, but identities of reviewers are known only
    to editors

    - authors make changes in the private repo in response to
    reviewers' comments, and merge from that to their public repo when
    they want to

    Thanks,

    Greg
