Welcome to the pyOpenSci Software Peer Review Guidebook!#
Why pyOpenSci?#
pyOpenSci promotes open and reproducible research through peer-review of scientific Python packages. We also build technical capacity by providing a curated repository of high-quality packages and enabling scientists to write and share their own software. We hope to foster a greater sense of community among scientific Python users so that we can help each other become better programmers and researchers.
pyOpenSci Peer Review Badge will appear on the README.md file of packages that have been reviewed and vetted by us.#
