JOSS is a developer friendly, open access journal for research software packages.
I previously gave a talk on JOSS, the recording of which can be accessed here.
The Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) is an academic journal (ISSN 2475-9066) with a formal peer review process that is designed to improve the quality of the software submitted. Upon acceptance into JOSS, a Crossref DOI is minted and we list your paper on the JOSS website.
Perhaps, and in a perfect world we’d rather papers about software weren’t necessary but we recognize that for most researchers, papers and not software are the currency of academic research and that citations are required for a good career.
We built this journal because we believe that after you’ve done the hard work of writing great software, it shouldn’t take weeks and months to write a paper about your work.
We have a simple submission workflow and extensive documentation to help you prepare your submission. If your software is already well documented then paper preparation should take no more than an hour.
You can read more about our motivations to build JOSS in our announcement blog post.
We support the scientific Python tools that drive open science through peer review, training and community building.
We build diverse community that supports 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. Join our global community.

If the package has an obvious research application according to JOSS’s definition in their submission requirements, then one may submit their package to JOSS through pyOpenSci.
