👋🏼 @drcandacemakedamoore @marcoghislieri @ixjlyons this is the review thread for the paper. All of our communications will happen here from now on.

As a reviewer, the first step is to create a checklist for your review by entering

@editorialbot generate my checklist

as the top of a new comment in this thread.

These checklists contain the JOSS requirements. As you go over the submission, please check any items that you feel have been satisfied. The first comment in this thread also contains links to the JOSS reviewer guidelines.

The JOSS review is different from most other journals. Our goal is to work with the authors to help them meet our criteria instead of merely passing judgment on the submission. As such, the reviewers are encouraged to submit issues and pull requests on the software repository. When doing so, please mention openjournals/joss-reviews#5251 so that a link is created to this thread (and I can keep an eye on what is happening). Please also feel free to comment and ask questions on this thread. In my experience, it is better to post comments/questions/suggestions as you come across them instead of waiting until you've reviewed the entire package.

We aim for reviews to be completed within about 2-4 weeks. Please let me know if any of you require some more time. We can also use EditorialBot (our bot) to set automatic reminders if you know you'll be away for a known period of time.

Please feel free to ping me (@ajquinn) if you have any questions/concerns.

Hello @behinger, @ajbaird and @peterakirk!

This is a review thread for a Python package "ReSurfEMG: A Python library for preprocessing and analysis of respiratory EMG" at the Journal of Open Source Software. More details in the links in the top comment.

Review has started - but we need to find another reviewer to join us at short notice. Would any of you be willing to contribute a review for this submission for JOSS? We'd ideally like to find someone who could get started soon as the review has been going for a while now.

JOSS carries out checklist-driven reviews here in GitHub issues. Reviews follow these guidelines: https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/review_criteria.html

If you have any questions or queries before committing to a review please just let me know!

behinger commented 1 year ago

hi! unfortunately I am swamped right now - it will be better in 3-4 weeks only

ajbaird commented 1 year ago

I'm happy to help but what does the timeline look like. I can possibly finish a review in 2 weeks? If that timeline works let me know!

AJQuinn commented 1 year ago

Thank you both,

Around two weeks for the review would be great if that's possible @ajbaird - let me know and I'll set things up.

No problem @behinger, thanks for letting me know!

ixjlyons commented 1 year ago

Hi all, my sincere apologies for taking so long to get this review in. This one really got away from me. Anyway, here's my review.

Overall Comments

I think the purpose of the software is clear and described well in the paper. Having worked for some time in a related field, I can attest to lack of clarity in algorithm implementations and parameters. I have some overall feedback that I think could improve the repository, but otherwise it appears to be in good shape.

The main constructive feedback I have for ReSurfEMG is to spruce up the analysis notebooks a bit more, perhaps with some additional narrative explanations weaved around the code cells. I think most of them already do this pretty well, but some start to get heavy with code and sparser explanations toward the end. You might also consider changing the usage of widgets in the notebooks to update analysis/plots as user choices change (datapoint, number of samples, etc.) instead of having to go back to the widget and then run subsequent cells. My usual approach to this is to choose a default set of inputs, write out the analysis steps via functions with intermediate evaluations to walk through what's being done, then hook up the function(s) to widgets for interactivity. I consider these recommendations/suggestions, not mandatory for acceptance.

Paper

My only comments on the paper are minor:

The second sentence of the Summary is somewhat awkward -- I think there's some redundancy in "to meet challenges in interpretation of the signals," so perhaps that could be removed.
Remove the comma on line 50 ("...complex EMG data sets remains very limited...")

Documentation

Installation notes:

Creating a conda environment from the environment.yml file ran for a very long time resolving, so I didn't end up fully testing this installation method. It's not obvious what would cause this given most of the dependencies are pinned to versions that presumably were all compatible at some point, but it might be worth trying again to see if you can reproduce the lengthy dependency resolution.
Developer's setup:
- There's a comment that Windows users activate the environment with .venv/bin/activate, but I think this should be more like .venv/Scripts/activate
- Initial (pip) install failed the message below. I'm not sure what the cause is, but running pip install jupyter afterward seems to have resolved it.

Due to the notes above, I'll leave the installation box unchecked for now, but I was ultimately able to get the package installed to run the analysis notebooks and try out ResurfEMG-dashboard.

Data

It might be nice to consider uploading the sample dataset somewhere it can more easily be retrieved (without Docker), e.g. Dryad, Zenodo, OSF.
Perhaps also a walkthrough of generating a synthetic dataset sufficient to get started on a notebook or two would be good.
It might also be advisable to support unit testing without retrieving an external dataset, either by including a small subset necessary for testing, relying on synthetic data, or maybe marking certain tests as skippable if data aren't present. Git LFS might be worth looking into.
Once the data has been copied out of the docker image, it's not fully clear how to create a config that points to it for the notebooks. I was able to figure it out, but it could be spelled out a little more explicitly.

Code

The Python package has a somewhat odd structure/organization. I think the main issue is "helper functions" isn't particularly descriptive and contains the bulk of the code. Maybe it could be split up a bit for clarity and/or more manageable expansion as new methods are added (visualzation, filtering, feature extraction, etc.). Just a suggestion.

AJQuinn commented 1 year ago

Thanks @ixjlyons - much appreciated!

We try to avoid detailed discussion on this thread if we can - could you copy the review over to an issue on the source repo and tag this thread in it? You and the authors can discuss any reasonable changes there and report back once things are resolved or if extra input is needed.

Thanks again!

AJQuinn commented 1 year ago

Hi @ajbaird - how are you getting on? do you have an ETA for the review? Thanks for your help!

ajbaird commented 1 year ago

sorry was able to begin the review project and should have it wrapped by the end of the week!

ajbaird commented 1 year ago

Hi All, Here are my thoughts

Overview

The document is well constructed and checks all of the boxes needed for a JOSS publication. Statement of need is clear state of the field and summery are well written. I do wish there was a section on use case, or context of use that could guide a user around API and data sets available.

I found a large lack of clarity around the repository documentation, especially regarding datasets that can be used to test this software, how they can be leveraged and a description of the output targets.

Paper

line 25, delete "much"
line 26 define "filter settings"
line 39 delete "aside from lacking transparency in clinical scientific literature" seems like a strange jab without adding to the discussion
line 61 is a little confusing, maybe re-write especially the part after the "...remove noise, and .... " are the signals the cardiac signals or are they the noise, the signal is again referenced in the next paragraph and is similarly confusing.

Documentation

install

The notes here weren't complete for all platforms (non conda environments) and had an issue with tk as a dep. Here are my notes:

virtual environment on a ubuntu virtual machines dev install worked well
Shouldn't be burried at the end of the documentation, it also shouldn't be called "developers setup" that is quite confusing
Getting started should include installations steps for each architecture supported, currently only conda
No tutorial on how to use synthetic data to run a simulation to verify functionality
tkinter not included on the dependencies of the virtual environment
There is an issue with the tkinter dependencies, its important to spell out the dep in your venv configuration file
- I was able to work around this by installing tkinter via: apt-get install python3-tk, it didn't resolve the issue by using pip

Proof of context

I aimed to work my way through the jupyter notebook titled basic_emg_analysis using the zenodo synthetic data set. I had the following issues regarding this process and was not able to generate the figures at the end of the notebook. Here are my notes:

why is the directory information for the data at least not set to some default value, it is very confusing setting up new directories and configure files that restrict even running the most basic example without

Can you just set them to a default location, then in your readme tell the user to download the synthetic data set and unzip it to the following location, then you can describe to them how to change that location as needed
- your example json formatting doesn't work across architectures, double quotes are needed (in the config.json file)
- its required that you create the /data/root_emg directory, this should be created but empty in the project OR should be auto created to a default location if the json config file isn't provided
- There is synthetic data in a directory when you clone the project, can we edit the basic_emg_analysis file to use this data?
- testing isn't defined in the readme, only described for a docker container
- In the notebook there is an assumption of how the emg files look (''*/.Poly5') but this isn't consistent with the synthetic data provided in zenodo
- Data is in .npy files not sure about the assumed data structure here
- Needed to change the cell to be emg_pattern = os.path.join(root_emg_directory, 'data/*.npy')
- this is after I unzipped and moved the synthetic data into the appropriate root directory
- The polyreader class doesn't work with synthetic data file, I get the following error (with hard coded indexing on the date/time routine)
- ValueError: year 40070 is out of range, in the line item self.start_time=datetime.datetime(header_data[8], header_data[9], header_data[10]), ect...
- This is clearly assuming the data is in a certain format (and not the one that is presented in the synthetic data), this is a huge issue and needs patching

Conclusions

Considering these issues in getting a viable proof of context and use, I feel like there are edits and changes needed to the repo documentation in order to approve publication of this paper. Please address to improve documentation.

drcandacemakedamoore commented 1 year ago

Thank you for your thoughtful reviews @ajbaird and @ixjlyons . There are many changes we will work on over the summer. I would note that there is synthetic data at https://github.com/ReSurfEMG/synthetic_data which has been archived on Zenodo. As the data is in .npy format we will better instructions in cases where .npy can not be used directly i.e. where we begin with a Poly5 file. There are many converter functions for different lab groups on the repository in converter_functions.py; but a converter function to a Poly5 is a bit of an unnecessary step backwards. We really appreciate your thoughtful and thorough reviews, and will notify you as we update the library and paper.

Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman commented 1 year ago

@AJQuinn can you please pick this up again? Thanks

drcandacemakedamoore commented 1 year ago

@Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman , @ixjlyons and @ajbaird Thank you all for your thoughtful comments and review. We have now made several changes to the repository. For example in our basic EMG analysis notebook you should now be able to load numpy (the format of our sample data) or Poly5. We made almost all the changes suggested except splitting up helper functions. We felt this part of the project should be worked on with the main users, so it is still ongoing. I believe I have fixed the tkinter issue, and my installation instructions are more clear and inclusive. I would love to hear if this is now working for everyone.

AJQuinn commented 1 year ago

Hi @drcandacemakedamoore - thanks for the response to feedback. I can see lots of changes on the repo but I'm afraid I'm struggling to match them up to bits of specific feedback.

To make the next step simpler, would you mind commenting with a quick summary of specific PRs/commits that relate specifically to the JOSS review? or better still, link this thread into the comments of an active issues/PR. They should then appear here for reference.

@Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman , @ixjlyons and @ajbaird - please can you try and get to this in the next two weeks if at all possible. Please let me know if you'll need more time.

I think I have responded to almost all comments by providing links to the PR and commit number, or explaining our ideas on the issue here: (https://github.com/ReSurfEMG/ReSurfEMG/issues/252#issuecomment-1677346866). We have to work with the main end users of the library at the university medical centers to split up the helper functions module in a way that makes sense, and this will take time.

Amazing, thank you @drcandacemakedamoore - over to @ixjlyons and @ajbaird

ajbaird commented 1 year ago

hi @drcandacemakedamoore thank you so much! I thought that the repo was super duper close to checking all the boxes for me, just with a better readme and instructions on linux installation. I'll be able to look over it in the coming two weeks! Thanks again for all the hard work!

We made almost all the changes suggested except splitting up helper functions. We felt this part of the project should be worked on with the main users, so it is still ongoing.

Completely reasonable. It was meant as a suggestion, but I'm happy to hear you're working on it. I think it'll make the code a little easier to start working with, but good choice taking care of existing users.

I've reviewed the changes made and it all looks good to me. I went through the installation instructions and ran through a couple notebooks again to check, so I've checked off everything in my checklist.

AJQuinn commented 1 year ago

Great - thank you @ixjlyons - I'll ask for one further confirmation that you're happy when we're onto the next phase.

@ajbaird - how are you getting on with the review? please let me know if you need anything from our side!

ajbaird commented 1 year ago

working this today, should have it wrapped up end of day! Sorry for the latency.

ajbaird commented 12 months ago

Hi All!

Was just able to pull the repo with all the changes you've commmited and I'm really impressed! you've absolutely hit all the issues I had last time around. Super easy to begin working on the notebooks on a linux platform. I really commend you for all the effort you put into it. Thank you. I know it was a lot of asks and everyone is so busy these days :)

@AJQuinn Paper is good to go from my point of view. Excellent tools, excellent documentation. Really well done!

Thanks again @drcandacemakedamoore this repo will be a treat for a lot of people to play around with!

Thank you guys who reviewed ( @ixjlyons and @ajbaird )! Your comments were really useful in terms of making the package more broadly usable, and the user side of the team is and will continue refactoring and adding a bit more code based on some of them. Please let us know if there is anything missing to go to the next steps in the publication process @AJQuinn .

AJQuinn commented 11 months ago

Hi @drcandacemakedamoore - thanks for addressing the reviewer comments, I'll make a start on the next steps!

@ixjlyons - is everything good to go from your perspective? - just need a final 'go' confirmation to wrap things up.

Thanks @ajbaird for the review
