@ZappyMan, thanks for this submission. I am the AEiC for this track and here to help process initial steps.

Since you are seeking a "new version paper" (former version was published in JOSS and was reviewed here: https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/1825) could you please provide a list of all the major changes since that version? It would help if you could leave a detailed post here highlighting the developments since that published version. You can include links to issues addressed and/or links to new docs/files/code where appropriate. The more evidence you can provide, that the changes made are significant enough to justify a new JOSS paper, the better. Thanks.

ZappyMan commented 1 year ago

@Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman thanks for the quick response. Below is a comprehensive list of major changes since version 1:

Features

Stability

Contributors Lastly, a major change to MorphoMetriX from the published v1, is the team. I have taken over leadership of development from wingtorres as I led all the software updates for v2 and now manage the repository and will handle issues moving forwards. Cbirdferrer has also been added as a contributor.

Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman commented 1 year ago

@ZappyMan thanks for that information. I will now consult the editorial board on this and we will get back to you with a verdict.

Notes to editors:

  • Implemented side-bias functionality for width measuring when visibility is poor. This new feature helps increase the number of measurable images that would otherwise be excluded, thus improving the sample sizes for analyses

@ZappyMan, if you feel I've misrepresented your summary, feel free to elaborate on more changes that relate to scientific functionality/outcomes.

Submission flagged for editorial review.

Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman commented 1 year ago

@ZappyMan the editorial board has studied you submission, and the differences with the previously published version. Unfortunately the changes made to this new version are not seen here as sufficient to justify a new JOSS paper. The key thing we would look for in this case is significant changes of the scientific functionality/performance.

We will now proceed to reject this submission. Note though that this conclusion does not mean this work (and the enhancements made) are of a poor quality or not useful, it merely means that the enhancements proposed are not deemed significant enough to warrant a new paper.

Note we would welcome any future (re)submissions that are of a more substantial nature.
