Respected Admin,
Our paper was rejected despite of being abiding by the scope of JOSE.
Review link: openjournals/jose-reviews#84 (comment)
According to the definition of the "educational software tools" as defined on JOSE official website:
What do you mean by "educational software tools"?
Open-source software that serves as educational technology; examples include (but are not limited to) alternatives to learning management systems, autograders, cloud systems for lesson delivery, student collaboration tools. For these tools, peer review will follow a similar process as JOSS.
The 1Build tool is a project management tool.
1build is an automation tool used for research and development projects that arms you with the convenience to configure project-local command line aliases โ and then run the commands quickly and easily. It is particularly helpful when you deal with multiple projects and switch between them all the time. It is often the fact that different projects use different build tools and have different environment requirements โ and then switching from one project to another is becoming increasingly cumbersome. That is where 1build comes into play.
What do users of 1Build learn?
Need of how to manage multiple projects.
Indirectly learn the need for CI/CD.
Learns to write commands and hence to code.
Which I believe completely lies in scope of JOSE.
Therefore, I request you to give it a second opportunity and reconsider the submission.
Thanks,
Deepak Ahire
