First JOSS review!
Several months ago, I stumbled upon the journal they call Joss. Well, actually, JOSS - the Journal of Open Source Software, "a developer friendly, open access journal for research software packages". It's a completely free, open-source and open-access alternative to established, for-(often-a-lot-of)-profit journals such as those by Reed-Elsevier or Springer.
And a few days ago, I've been called into service to review VlaPy, "1D-1V Vlasov-Poisson(-Fokker-Planck) Plasma Physics Simulation Tool". While I'm digging into that code, I thought I'd write something up about JOSS in general!
