Contributing to Computo

Computo (computo-journal.org) is a diamond open-access journal at the intersection of computational and statistical methods. This repository belongs to the computorg organization; how you contribute depends on what kind of repository you're in.

Submitting a manuscript

If you're an author preparing a submission:

1. Create your repository from one of the official templates: template-computo-R, template-computo-python, or template-computo-julia.
2. Follow the author guidelines: edit the .qmd file and the metadata in _quarto.yml, freeze dependencies (renv, environment.yml, or Project.toml), and make sure the CI workflow renders the manuscript successfully.
3. Submit the PDF and a link to your repository on OpenReview.

Reviewing a manuscript

If you've accepted a review invitation, see the reviewer guidelines. Reviews are conducted on OpenReview and evaluate scope, clarity, correctness, adequacy of evaluation, and reproducibility — reviewers are expected to actually run the authors' code, not just read it.

Contributing to the tooling

For contributions to the Computo tooling itself (the Quarto extension, submission templates, or automation scripts):

• Open an issue first to discuss non-trivial changes before submitting a pull request.
• Fork the repository and submit a pull request against main.
• Make sure quarto render succeeds locally before opening the PR.
