:wave: @RLado – thanks for your submission to JOSS. Could you please help me understand where the novel code contributions are for this software? For example, I see some Python code but also some linked submodules. There also looks to be some JavaScript in the project too. Essentially, please explain what parts are written by you as part of this submission.

Thank you!

[RLado]

Hello @arfon.

The submodule STB-VMM [1] corresponds to a previous submission to Knowledge-Based Systems (under review) and is used as the motion magnification backend for ViMag.

The other included Python submodules [2][3] are part of the core functionality of ViMag and do not correspond to any previous publications. I have used these submodules as standalone CLI tools to verify our damage detection methodology, for this reason they are presented in this format. The javascript code corresponds to the electron app that combines these tools into a user-friendly, multiplatform and practical interface.

Sorry for any confusion caused. And thank you for your time.

Thanks @RLado – I'm going to ask for the input of the wider JOSS editorial team here on whether we think this submission is in scope for JOSS.

@editorialbot assign @Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman as editor

Thanks for agreeing to edit this Kevin!

[editorialbot]

Assigned! @Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman is now the editor

[kyleniemeyer]

I've moved this to the PE track as well

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@iamtsac @ZHANGKEON @capepoint would you be interested in reviewing a paper for the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) entitled: "ViMag: A Visual Vibration Analysis Toolbox"?

JOSS reviews focus on the software as well as a short paper

JOSS reviews take place on GitHub and reviewers are guided by a set of check boxes. Here is an example of an ongoing review: https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/5278.

You can let me know here if you are interested. Let me know if you have any question.

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@josepfontm at first sight it seems your expertise would qualify you to review this work, however, I assume you have a conflict of interest with the authors?

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@RLado would you be able to help suggest any reviewers? Please mention their github handles here, but leave out the @ to avoid them being tagged. Thanks.

[josepfontm]

@Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman Thanks for considering me as a possible reviewer. Unfortunately, I collaborate with @RLado frequently, as you correctly assumed I am not a viable reviewer. Nonetheless, I have some suggestions which might interest you. All the reviewers I propose are researchers working in the same field as us: Structural Health Monitoring/Vibration Analysis and have active communities on Github.

I would suggest contacting the people behind the PyOMA project. https://github.com/dagghe/PyOMA

In addition, the research group from Professor Janko Slavič has wide experience in open-source projects and, more specifically, in vibration analysis. I attach their website: http://lab.fs.uni-lj.si/ladisk/?

Best,

[jankoslavic]

@Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman Thank you for the invite. I can take the effort. How much time do I have?

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@jankoslavic that is great. We used to aim for a 2-3 week turn around but we have to be more flexible these days :) . Perhaps you can aim for ~3 weeks and just let me know if you need more time. I'll assign you as a reviewer now. Thanks. FYI this is a pre-review issue, I'll open a dedicated review issue once I'll have enough reviewers and then we'll start. Having said that, if you'd like to get started reviewing the paper and testing the software already, you are more then welcome too.

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@editorialbot add @jankoslavic as reviewer

[editorialbot]

@jankoslavic added to the reviewers list!

[marco-rosso-m]

Dear @Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman Thank you for inviting me to this review. However, I have some issues at the moment and I can not dedicate any time resources to properly work on this review. I feel better to decline your invitation. Thank you anyway for considering me. Best regards.

[iamtsac]

@Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman, sorry for the late reply. You can add me as a reviewer, and thank you for the invitation.

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@editorialbot add @iamtsac as reviewer

[editorialbot]

@iamtsac added to the reviewers list!

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

I'll trigger the start of the review now.

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@editorialbot start review

[editorialbot]

OK, I've started the review over in https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/5491.
