@brendapraggastis & @bonicim - How are your updates coming?
danielskatz
Updates are almost done; we expect to have them pushed to master
fairly soon. Will post an update ASAP.
@danielskatz Updates pushed to master branch and reflected in latest release, 2.1.4. PyPi has also been updated.
Additional comments on other hypergraph libraries are forthcoming.
@bonicim - When you are done with the changes, please use the command @editorialbot generate pdf
to make a new PDF. editorialbot commands need to be the first entry in a new comment.
@editorialbot generate pdf
:warning: An error happened when generating the pdf. Paper file not found.
I will look into the pdf generation error. I have an idea of what happened; will rerun the command once I've updated the paper
branch.

Let me know when you feel it's ready.
EDIT: Can you please make sure the references are added before the fullstop within the section about other hypergraph libraries?
@bonicim - did you see the note above ☝️ from @szhorvat? Can you respond please? (We're really close to done now)
@szhorvat Yes, I am looking at our latest copy. I think it is just a problem with the markdown used. Will let you know when it is fixed.

@szhorvat and @danielskatz the latest version has references to the three most contemporary libraries to HNX that we know of along with their references. Hopefully this version is acceptable for publication.
@szhorvat - when you get a chance, please let us know if you agree with ☝️
I was still waiting for a response on a minor comment here: https://github.com/pnnl/HyperNetX/issues/143#issuecomment-1949265449
Perhaps other reviewers can comment on whether what is suggested (i.e. install everything in the conda base environment) is considered good practice. Python technical details are not my area of expertise.
My guiding principle with these comments was to try to make sure that academic users, many of whom might not be very technical, will be well-served by the documentation.
@IvanIsCoding, @drj11 - any thoughts on this? See the issue in the comment above for the discussion

@brendapraggastis When citing igraph in the paper, could you please spell it with a lowercase "i" and also include https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.10260 (which will eventually become the main citation point, replacing the old DOI-less paper)?
Could you please correct the uppercase "i" to lowercase before finalizing? I'll write up my report soon.
This is my final report. Please note that I'll be away, and unresponsive, during the following week.
HNX is an ambitious package that is breaking new ground within a rapidly developing field. I am happy to see such packages published in JOSS, and I am looking forward to seeing further HNX development.
Some suggestions to the authors:
Openness of development HNX is open-source in the sense that it has an open source license, and that it is technically accepting contributions on GitHub. However, the development process is opaque, and does not project an image that encourages contributions. Looking at the list of PRs, the majority of non-trivial ones were closed with a comment that they were handled internally. There are very few truly external contributions, and those that exist did not leave a mark on the git commit history (i.e. the name of the actual contributor wasn't recorded). I think HNX could truly benefit from transitioning to more welcoming practices. Consider making development more open and especially crediting contributors in some way.
HNX widget The HNX widget is featured prominently in the paper, but it turned out to function only under very specific circumstances. The authors improved the documentation and stated that the widget is still in beta and under active development. However, there hasn't been any public development (or release) in 3 years. Is this another symptom of the behind-closed-doors development practices? I am hoping to see significant improvements in the near future.
Documentation I found the documentation to be a bit terse for a scientific package (see e.g. https://github.com/pnnl/HyperNetX/issues/141) I know that keeping documentation minimal is very common with Python packages—HNX is not different in this respect. But give the target audience (researchers) and the mathematically non-trivial topics the package deals with, I think that putting more effort into documentation would be one of the biggest improvements HNX could make at the moment. Initiatives like pyOpenSci are already pushing for better documentation practices, I suggest taking a look at their guidelines, or just looking at common practices used in the communities of more scientifically oriented languages (e.g. R or Mathematica).
@bonicim @brendapraggastis Thank you for the patience. I hand over to @danielskatz now.
@IvanIsCoding, @drj11 - any thoughts on this? See the issue in the comment above for the discussion
For the record on the Jupyter Widget debate.
With regards to packaging, ideally users would only pip install hnxwidget
and just use it. But I myself have experienced issues with Jupyter Widgets as a user so I imagine that on the packaging side it can be challenging as well. A solution using both pip
and conda
is not ideal, so my suggestion is to package hnxwidget
for Conda.

I think this is one is on the journal, the template capitalizes everyword. The author's bibtex is what you would expect.. I think if they switch to use {i}graph
in Bibtex it will preserve the capitalization?

Yes, that works, but I meant to refer to the mention in the main text :-)
Also, to make sure there is no confusion, I do recommend publishing.
@IvanIsCoding - having now had all the reviews finish, we can go ahead and publish. Let me know if you want to make and changes at this point based on @szhorvat's comments. Once you are ready, I'll proofread the paper, and ask you to perform some archiving steps, then I'll finish the process.

I have no objections for the software. For the paper, my only objections are minor igraph citation details. I agree with the other reviewer on the spelling, it is an easy change to make. Another factor that I agree is that igraph has recently posted https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.10260, so I do agree with @szhorvat's comment to cite the pre-print and incorporate the decade of work spent improving the package.
sorry @IvanIsCoding - I meant to address this comment to @brendapraggastis

@danielskatz @IvanIsCoding @szhorvat Thanks for catching the Igraph error. We will fix that and the references this week and notify you as soon as the final is ready.

@danielskatz @IvanIsCoding @szhorvat igraph typo is fixed and igraph reference added.
@danielskatz @IvanIsCoding @szhorvat igraph typo is fixed and igraph reference added.
I believe we are good to go for a final proof. The footnote references will be updated by JOSS, correct?
yes, and thanks. I'll do the proof-reading a little later today
I've now suggested a bunch of minor changes in https://github.com/pnnl/HyperNetX/pull/150 - please merge this, or let me know what you disagree with, then we can continue the process
@danielskatz The typo fix went in the wrong place. a95c8c8 put it in a sequence of terms, which I don't think is what you meant. I went through and made sure the punctuation after the citations were correct and in the correct place. @bonicim will push the fix this morning.
Sorry about that and thanks for fixing it.

@danielskatz The punctuation changes are reflected in the latest document. I don't see anything else, so hopefully we are good to go now.
Thanks. The next steps are for you to:
I can then move forward with accepting the submission.
@danielskatz I have created a tagged release, v2.2.0p. The rest of the required steps are currently in progress.
