JOSS submission analytics
2025-10-07 19:39:45.106905
Introduction
In this report, we extract information about published JOSS papers
and generate
graphics as well as a summary table that can be downloaded and used for
further analyses.

Pull down paper info from Crossref and citation information from OpenAlex
We get the information about published JOSS papers from Crossref,
using the rcrossref R package. The openalexR R
package is used to extract citation counts from OpenAlex.
## First check how many records there are in Crossref
issn <- "2475-9066"
joss_details <- rcrossref::cr_journals(issn, works = FALSE) %>%
pluck("data")
(total_dois <- joss_details$total_dois)## [1] 3186## Pull down all records from Crossref
papers <- rcrossref::cr_journals(issn, works = TRUE, cursor = "*",
cursor_max = joss_details$total_dois * 2) %>%
pluck("data")
## Only keep articles
papers <- papers %>%
dplyr::filter(type == "journal-article")
dim(papers)## [1] 3194 28dim(papers %>% distinct())## [1] 3194 28## Check that all papers were pulled down and stop otherwise
if (!(nrow(papers %>% distinct()) >= total_dois)) {
stop("Not all papers were pulled down from Crossref!")
}
## A few papers don't have alternative.ids - generate them from the DOI
noaltid <- which(is.na(papers$alternative.id))
papers$alternative.id[noaltid] <- papers$doi[noaltid]
## Get citation info from Crossref and merge with paper details
# cit <- rcrossref::cr_citation_count(doi = papers$alternative.id)
# papers <- papers %>% dplyr::left_join(
# cit %>% dplyr::rename(citation_count = count),
# by = c("alternative.id" = "doi")
# )
## Remove one duplicated paper
papers <- papers %>% dplyr::filter(alternative.id != "10.21105/joss.00688")
dim(papers)## [1] 3193 28dim(papers %>% distinct())## [1] 3193 28papers$alternative.id[duplicated(papers$alternative.id)]## character(0)source_track <- c(source_track,

Pre-review/review time over time
In these plots we investigate whether the time a submission spends in the pre-review or review stage (or their sum) has changed over time. The blue curve corresponds to a rolling median for submissions over 120 days.
