Notes

JOSS papers are short (typically 1-2 pages). Focus on:

• What problem does PLEIADES solve?
• Who is the target audience?
• What makes it better than alternatives?

Hey @KedoKudo, I have wrapped up most of the tasks. I think the last thing to do before internal review is the acknowledgements. I have my NSUF funding highlighted and just need a sentence acknowledging your funding from ORNL.

I think we can something like below:

This research used resources at the Spallation Neutron Source, a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science User Facility operated by Oak Ridge National Laboratory under Contract No. DE‑AC05‑00OR22725. Resonance imaging measurements were carried out on the VENUS instrument at the SNS. This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences (Scientific User Facilities Division) under Award No. [TO BE CONFIRMED].

I am asking the project manager to get the award number for the neutron data project and will update this comment once I have it.

update: the first two sentences are sufficient.
