@Edenhofer, @tomkimpson β This is the review thread for the paper. All of our correspondence will happen here from now on. Thanks again for agreeing to participate!
π Please read the "Reviewer instructions & questions" in the first comment above, and generate your checklists by commenting @editorialbot generate my checklist
on this issue ASAP. As you go over the submission, please check any items that you feel have been satisfied. There are also 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#6354
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 the review process to be completed within about 4-6 weeks but please try to make a start ahead of this as JOSS reviews are by their nature iterative and any early feedback you may be able to provide to the author will be very helpful in meeting this schedule. Please get your review started as soon as possible!

I would like to request a COI waiver for my review of ScatteringOptics.jl (#6354) regarding Paul Tiede, who is a co-author of said paper. I've been at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, Paul's employer, for about half a year in 2023 and have had two extended conversations with Paul about Gaussian processes, a subject unrelated to the submission. Since we work on very different topics in astrophysics, have never collaborated, and haven't interacted regularly, I believe I can evaluate the submission impartially.
The paper is well written, summarizes the need for the software well, and focuses on the essential mathematics. However, as a non-expert in the field of radio astronomy, I think that the mathematics discussed should be more closely tied to what ScatteringOptics.jl provides. In particular, it is not clear to me how the equation after l70 and the equation after l74 are related. I probably am missing something, but I thought the scattering is performed in image space and only $G$ and $\phi$ are relevant for ScatteringOptics.jl. If ScatteringOptics.jl only returns the effective scattering in visibility space, please state this more clearly, e.g. in l82ff.
l65 Why does $\phi$ depend twice on $r$?
l65-l67 What is the difference between the phase screen $\phir$ and the spatial structure function of the phase screen $D\phi(r)$?
l70 How is $G$ related to $\phi$?
r$ is defined in l71 and again in l65; please merge the definitions.
l76 It is not clear to me what "earth-screen distance D" refers to; please rephrase.
Is eq. following l74 an alternative formulation of l70 in visibility space?
l97 It would be great if the authors could provide an example that is reproducible from scratch, e.g., by providing "jason_mad_eofn.fits".

@Edenhofer β Thanks for bringing this up! Given the weak nature of this potential COI, I'm happy for you to continue with the review, having noted this context.
@annatartaglia β If you or any of your co-authors have any concerns about this at all please reach out to me here or over email (my address should be easy to find!). Thanks all!!
The package is useful and the accompanying paper is well-written. It was nice to learn about the use of Julia by the EHT collaboration. I have some general comments below. I will review the code itself separately and open any issues as needed.
ScatteringOptics.jl includes a set of abstract types that enable users to define other phase screen models.
It is not obvious to me how a user would define some other phase screen model - perhaps a MWE would be useful..fits
file. If sufficiently small, it could be worth including jason_mad_eofn.fits
in a data/
directory.Apologies for the delay in my responseβI have been busy with graduate admissions visits the past few weeks.
We would like to thank the referees (@Edenhofer @tomkimpson) for their constructive comments. We are in the process of carefully going through each review and revising the paper and repository accordingly. I will respond to individual comments as we revise. Thanks for your patience!
@annatartaglia β Thanks for your previous update! I wanted to check in here to make sure that this is still on your radar. Let us know how things are going. Thanks!
@annatartaglia β Any updates here? Please let us know what your timeline looks like for the next steps. If I don't hear from you in the next 2 weeks, I'll assume that this review has been abandoned, and reject the submission, so just let me know how things are going ASAP!
@dfm
We are very sorry for the delay in revising the submission. As @annatartaglia already wrote, we found the referee's suggestions constructive, and have been revising the repository and its documentation. As I wrote to you separately, the revision has been unexpectedly taking longer because the process collides with on-going Anna's career transition. I would appreciate if you can provide us with a few months of an extension to complete the revision.
Also, as an author, I'm very sorry that I didn't respond --- I didn't receive a notification and I should have answered promptly if I did. Please include me when you reach out to us for the next time.
@kazuakiyama, @annatartaglia β Thanks for the update! I can "pause" this submission if it will be a few months before you can return to the review. Otherwise, please update here even with small changes - unlike other journals, we don't require a serial review process where you respond to all comments in one go. Please feel free to iterate interactively! Let me know what your realistic timeline looks like and we'll work with that. Thanks!
