@gaelforget thanks for your submission. I've flagged this submission for additional review by our board to check if it is in scope for JOSS. In particular it looks like it is close to being too minor (to me at first sight) in terms of functionality / the amount of scholarly work it contains. This internal review will take about a week. In the mean time if you could clearly and concisely outline the different types of functionality this work offers and how these differ (or are novel) in relation to other work that may help us judge the scope of this work. Thanks.
Hi @Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman
Thanks for taking this on and for your amazingly quick first assessment. I am especially grateful for such efficiency in light of the strain that COVID has been putting on all of us and the fact that joss is operating in reduced service mode in particular.
Will get back to you with specifics asap after I re-read the journal docs another time in light of your comment -- I feel I may have overlooked something subtle in the language of the submission guidelines as I was under the impression that this submission would rather easily clear the bar for getting to the open review stage.
In any event, I look forward to additional feedback that you or any other editor may post here, will do my best to respond as rapidly as I can, and hope that I will get a chance to address possible concerns about e.g. functionality or scholarly work over the course of the review process if needed.
By the way, is it ok for me to ask follow up questions here if that's going to help me respond to your comment in more detail?
@gaelforget yes fire away, feel free to ask questions.
Hi @Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman
A quick post to apologize for the delay in my response -- it's been a rather hectic week on on my end ...
If that's ok, let me start with
clearly and concisely outline the different types of functionality this work offers
and then turn to the scope and scholarly effort aspects later today and tomorrow
Below I outline the different types of functionality this work offers. Additionally the three_dimensional_ocean notebook and the corresponding animation provide a representative example of these functionalities put to action.
examples/
folder code, which is unit tested as well as the main code in src/
)Individuals
data structure & readily interpretable API (e.g. ∫!(𝐼,𝑇)
for integrate individual positions I over time T)A few notes on this outline (and maybe relevant to scope and scholarly effort as well):
src/
(package core) but also in examples/
, docs/
, test/
and involve packages like MeshArrays.jl
(e.g. for C-grid, domain decomposition), OceanStateEstimation.jl
(e.g. for data dependencies)v0.2.0
, which I believe covers all of the points listed above, seemed to me like a good place to pause development, firm up framework through JOSS submission & review if needed, and then invite new contributors to expand the various functionalities if neededDoes this suffice as an outline the different types of functionality this work offers? Should I consider including something like this in the joss paper itself?
@gaelforget thanks for the extra information! We can move forward with this submission. I will be your editor since I do particle tracking too, though not with Julia. I will need particular help from you finding reviewers who can review this software in Julia. Please provide github handles or another way to reach people from either your own network (but not conflicting) or from the list of volunteers. Do not use "@" when mentioning github handles here so we don't spam people unnecessarily.
@whedon add me as editor
I'm sorry human, I don't understand that. You can see what commands I support by typing:
@whedon commands
@whedon assign me as editor
OK, the editor is @kthyng

This is great news! Thanks @kthyng for taking on this submission as editor.
I will work on reviewer suggestions asap and hope to get back to you later today on this. Thanks for your patience
@gaelforget Can you add a short section to your paper also to compare your software with other particle tracking software? This will help give context.
@gaelforget Still waiting to hear back from you about reviewer suggestions too.
@gaelforget Still waiting to hear back from you about reviewer suggestions too.
Based on the list of volunteers (Preferred Language + Domain Expertise, mostly) and from my own network (incl. https://github.com/JuliaClimate) I may suggest:
Would this work?
ps. Others that came to mind but I felt may be too closely connected to me (conflicting
?) include: ali-ramadhan and hdrake who are in my department at MIT; the CLIMA project which involves many close collaborators although not myself.
Hi @visr and @milankl! Are you interested in reviewing this submission to the Journal for Open Source Software? The review is done openly through github and is checklist-driven. Acknowledging the global pandemic, we're asking for reviews in 5-6 weeks. You can get more information from our docs (though looks like they are offline at the moment). Please feel free to ask questions too.
I encourage you to sign up as a JOSS reviewer if you'd like!
Thanks @kthyng for the invitiation, I'm happy to accept.
@milankl Excellent! I'll add you now, though we will wait in this pre-review stage until we have two reviewers before beginning the actual review issue.
@whedon assign @milankl as reviewer
OK, @milankl is now a reviewer
I would also be happy to review.
Thanks @visr! We'll proceed now.
@whedon add @visr as reviewer
OK, @visr is now a reviewer
@whedon start review
OK, I've started the review over in https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/2813.
