pyOpenSci builds diverse communities that support free and open Python tools for processing scientific data. We also build technical skills needed to contribute to open source and that support open science.
Python Package Peer Review
We offer peer review to increase the quality, usability and long term maintenance of the open source tools that drive open science. JOSS accepts our review as theirs so you can get the benefits of pyOpenSci and JOSS in one review.
Community Partnerships
We partner with domain-specific scientific Python communities to review affiliated packages. Through this collaboration we develop community-specific standards that are used in our reviews to evaluate whether a package meets affiliation requirements.
Simplifying Packaging
We are creating a beginner-friendly Python packaging guide, reviewed by members of the Python Packaging Authority, maintainers of core packaging tools and members of the scientific Python community.
