JOSS Review: Check contributors #38

Closed bencardoen closed 1 year ago

bencardoen commented 1 year ago

As part of the JOSS review, I have to verify this

Contribution and authorship: Has the submitting author (@MJWester) made major contributions to the software? Does the full list of paper authors seem appropriate and complete?

I can see that this holds for @MJWester , but the paper.md lists 13 authors, yet the repo has 8 contributors. Can you please clarify in the paper what contributions the other authors made (funding, support, testing, ...)

Thanks,

Ben

The development of the SMITE software has taken place over several years, including an early period before our use of GitHub. Each of the authors has made a contribution to SMITE which I summarize below (and will now include in the paper). In the process of making this list, we added three more authors as we think it is important that anyone that developed software for SMITE be recognized. I hope that this list is not too long, but SMITE is a big package with many pieces and many contributors.

Author Contributions

KAL conceived and supervised development of SMITE and its predecessors. DJS, MF, HMF, MBMM and KAL coded SR localization techniques. SP, MJW, MF and HMF implemented thresholding. DJS and HMF wrote frame connection. MJW, KAL and DJS developed drift correction based on an earlier version by FF. MF and KAL devloped BaGoL; MJW wrote the interface to SMITE. DJS, HMF, WKK, DAR and EJ designed and wrote code for single particle tracking based on ideas from PKR. DJS, MBMM, HMF and SP created visualizations. SK, MJW and DJS added SMLM and SPT simulations. KAL, SL and MJW developed Zernike polynomial point spread function engineering. MJW packaged clustering techniques, and SLS and MJW wrote code for various cluster statistics. DJS added channel registration, various statistics, dimer hidden Markov modeling and the batch Publish class. PKR and MJO developed the diffusion estimator, while MJO also contributed to the change detector. MJW, SK and EAB added GitHub documentation. MJW and DJS wrote the manuscript. All authors reviewed the manuscript.

Thank you for clarifying the contributions and listing credit in detail.
