@callumrollo, @AleksiNummelin, and @isgiddy, thanks for agreeing to review this submission to JOSS. We are currently asking reviewers to try and complete their reviews in 6 weeks.
The JOSS review process is entirely open and transparent, and takes place on GitHub. Review comments can be made as issues in the GCM-Filters repository, please link this review issue when doing so (paste https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/3947
into the issue).
For reference, here are links to the JOSS documentation that may be helpful as you conduct your reviews:
Please feel free to ping me (@elbeejay) if you have any questions/concerns. Thanks again for agreeing to review for JOSS.

I have added one sentence to the acknowledgments of the paper - hope that was okay!

Hi Nora, this looks like a solid submission for JOSS. I'm not a modeller, but will review the code as best I can. I have a question about authorship. Most of the authors have made contributions to the codebase, corresponding to the author order. However, I could not find code contributions by Laure Zanna. Could you please outline their contribution to GCM_Filters?
Hi @callumrollo, thanks so much for reviewing our submission!
We defined the authorship criteria here, following the JOSS recommendations.
The GCM-Filters
package is being developed by the Ocean Eddy Climate Process Team (CPT). (The CPT is also the github organization that owns the GCM-Filters
repo.) Laure Zanna does not only lead the CPT, but has also made contributions through discussing code & package ideas and the implementation of the MOM5 Laplacians (partially off github's eye, in our CPT meetings as well as in her research group meetings with Elizabeth Yankovsky and Arthur Guillaumin). She is invited as a co-author because her contributions clearly satisfy the following JOSS criterion:
Purely financial (such as being named on an award) and organizational (such as general supervision of a research group) contributions are not considered sufficient for co-authorship of JOSS submissions, but active project direction and other forms of non-code contributions are.
I hope this explanation helps! I'm happy to answer any further questions and concerns.
:wave: @AleksiNummelin, please update us on how your review is going (this is an automated reminder).
:wave: @isgiddy, please update us on how your review is going (this is an automated reminder).
:wave: @callumrollo, please update us on how your review is going (this is an automated reminder).
There is a notebooks
folder in the top level of the repo, with a jupyter notebook enticingly named tutorial.ipynb
. However, these appears to be a demo for a lesson on packing or similar? Not sure what it's doing here. I'd suggest removing it lest potential users mistake it for a demo of the package functionality.
The documentation contains some great examples of package functionality. Perhaps these could be dumped into a notebook for ease of experimentation by potential users?
Reading the API documentation, I am unclear on the difference between these two methods of the Filter class:
apply(self, field_or_dataset, dims): """Filter a field or xarray dataset with scalar Laplacian across the dimensions specified by dims."""
apply_to_field(self, field, dims): """Filter a field with scalar Laplacian across the dimensions specified by dims."""
If apply
can process a field or dataset, apply_to_field
seems superfluous. If they are performing different functions, this could be better explained in their docstrings
While not essential, the maintainers might consider copying the contributing information on the docs website to CONTRIBUTING.md in the repo so github detects it and users can find it more easily
Similarly Issue and PR templates could make it easier for people to submit bug reports/requests etc. Again not an essential recommendation, it looks like the project is already dealing well with Issues and PRs
Overall a very impressive package. Some of the workings are a bit beyond me, but I managed to run some of the example code and mess around with filter kernels. Great testing suite! Once above small issues are considered, I'm happy for this to go to publication
Thanks for your comments and suggestions, @callumrollo! The 2 PRs and 2 issues that I linked above are in response to your 4 comments. We will try to resolve these issues and PRs asap.
I've just started working my way through the documentation. It's very explicit and I've managed to work through all the examples and haven't run into any issues so far. The package is user friendly and a great contribution.
Some minor suggestions so far:
I would suggest adding %time
to a few of the example filters that take a bit longer to run.
there are a number of references in the docs, so perhaps adding a references.md page that collates them all would be a nice addition.
I'll aim to finish up going through everything this week
Hi all, glad to see things are moving in a positive direction here.
A quick note to our reviewers @callumrollo, @isgiddy, and @AleksiNummelin; if you could make your comments and suggestions related to the review as issues in the GCM-Filters repository itself that is our preference. This keeps the review comments within the project repository should someone go back through the commit history and PRs and look for why any particular changes were made. This can be done either by making individual issues for each comment, or by putting all of your comments related to the review into a single issue.
In the issue, please remember to state that the issue is related to your JOSS review, and include the URL for this issue (https://github.com/ocean-eddy-cpt/gcm-filters), so that it is connected to this review issue.
I've tested a few of the filter kernels now on an independent dataset. I'm happy for this to go to forward to publication.
Hi @elbeejay, sorry for being slow, I've started to look through the submission, but I had a simple question. I think I can't check the checkboxes above (should I be able to check them in the browser?), and I realized that I may not have accepted the invite and therefore I don't appear as an assignee, nor as a participant? Would it be possible to renew the invite, or is there something else that I am missing? @NoraLoose I will create an issue to the project repo with some comments.

No problem, I will re-issue the review invitation.
@whedon re-invite @AleksiNummelin as reviewer
OK, the reviewer has been re-invited.
@aleksinummelin please accept the invite by clicking this link: https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/invitations
Okay, I've finally gone through the review and submitted an issue related to this at https://github.com/ocean-eddy-cpt/gcm-filters/issues/124
I think it is fine to publish the paper before that issue is fully resolved since those are rather minor points, although @NoraLoose might want to give a quick try solving the issue with filtering on a tripolar grid.
Hi all!
Thanks for your comments and identifying issues - GCM-Filters is already seeing a lot of improvement thanks to your reviews! Most of our developers have already unplugged for the winter break, so I would like to resolve the outstanding issues and PRs in the first week of January.
I'm tracking the issues that you have raised and that still need to be resolved here. (Everyone feel free to link more issues!)
Happy holidays, everyone!
Thanks Nora, great effort! I'm off on a cruise in a couple of weeks. I won't be contactable, but I'm happy for this to be approved for publication once the linked issues are resolved.

@NoraLoose this sounds great, we will plan to revisit the submission in January in this case. Thanks @isgiddy, @AleksiNummelin, and @callumrollo, it seems like this review process has been reasonably smooth.
Dear @elbeejay, @NoraLoose and the team have made a really nice effort and answered my questions at https://github.com/ocean-eddy-cpt/gcm-filters/issues/124 so I consider that issue closed (left that for the authors), which means that this review is also complete from my side - happy to see this published.
Cool, thanks @AleksiNummelin! @NoraLoose, let me know when you and your co-authors have made all of the revisions you'd like to make prior to JOSS publication. I noticed you created a "project" to track the issues which is neat. There's no timeline or deadline that you need to stick to at this point as all 3 reviewers have signed off, so I leave it up to you. Just ping me here when you'd like to move on to the final steps of the process.
Thanks @elbeejay! We have finished the last revisions (all tasks in the JOSS project are moved to "Done"). So I think we are ready to move on to the final steps.
Before doing so, I would like to make a small request. Between when we started the review and now, Paige Martin (@paigem) has started to work on PR https://github.com/ocean-eddy-cpt/gcm-filters/pull/128. The PR is not merged yet, but Paige has already made great progress toward an awesome new feature for our package! Therefore I have invited Paige as a co-author onto the JOSS paper. Sorry for the last-minute change, but I hope everyone here agrees with having Paige added to the author list.
Thanks again for your reviews and your super helpful feedback, @callumrollo, @isgiddy, and @AleksiNummelin!

@NoraLoose that all sounds good :+1:
I'm going to give this a closer look over the next few days just to make sure there are no typos and the like in the paper and I will get back to you with next steps shortly.
Hi @NoraLoose, I think the paper reads well. My only minor suggestions are to consider rewording/rephrasing in a few sections (see below) where ndimage.gaussian_filter
and GCM-Filters
end up being broken across lines. Up to you, but could be more aesthetically pleasing.
Whether or not you reword any parts of the paper, I'm happy for us to continue along the JOSS publication process. So at this time I'd like to ask if you could:
Doing so will enable us to square away the necessary metadata before this is published.

Thanks @elbeejay for the catching the line breaks in the paper!
I just did some minor re-wording to avoid those. I also bumped up the version to 0.2
(so far only in the paper, will do the tagged release next).
This PR contains the exact changes to the paper.

To be consistent between zenodo archive and JOSS paper, I changed v0.2 to v0.2.3 in the paper.
