@rsh52 – thanks for your submission to JOSS. I think you need to change the last affiliation from this:

- name: Department of Pediatrics, The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, College of Medicine, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA
- index: 7

to this:

- name: Department of Pediatrics, The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, College of Medicine, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA
  index: 7

We're currently managing a large backlog of submissions and the editor most appropriate for your area is already rather busy.

For now, we will need to waitlist this paper and process it as the queue reduces. Thanks for your patience!

[rsh52]

@arfon Thank you for the feedback and no problem about the waitlist, we understand.

I updated the affiliation, thank you for catching that, as well as the invalid DOIs the bot picked up. Attempting paper regeneration.
