rwegener2 commented 5 months ago

πŸ‘‹πŸΌ @amy-defnet @thodson-usgs @alessandroamaranto 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#6623 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 (@rwegener2) if you have any questions/concerns.

thodson-usgs commented 4 months ago

@rwegener2, I've completed my review. The package is functional and documented. However, it mainly provides an API to another database, which I had to register to use, as well as maintain a temporary 2-day PIN. Some question whether it meets the bar of scholarly effort, because a lot of this data is publicly available from other endpoints and Python packages. To that end, it might be good to request either a "state of the field" to better explain its niche, or else a usage example that does something more than query a database or project spatial coordinates.

alessandroamaranto commented 4 months ago

@rwegener2 My review is still in process. However, I already agree with @thodson-usgs in the state of the field paragraph. It would be beneficial for the authors to elaborate on similar applications, (for example https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/dataRetrieval/index.html), and highlight how hf_hydrodata offers distinct advantages in these areas.

amy-defnet commented 4 months ago

Thank you both for your reviews and feedback! @thodson-usgs @alessandroamaranto While it is true that our API is providing access to datasets that are publicly accessible, the value of our database and tool is that we are pulling together data across many different datasets and processing it so that it can be easily accessed with a single API call. For example, users can easily grab both groundwater, surface water, and ET observations from a basin and get data that is in a consistent and easy to use format. Without our tool, this would have required interacting with three different APIs and conducting significant post-processing on data to get it into a usable format. We agree that this point was not made clearly enough in our original manuscript. Our team has updated our paper draft on the main branch with a "State of the Field" section to address these comments.

rwegener2 commented 3 months ago

Thanks @amy-defnet for the explanation and for clarifying that information in the manuscript. Please also include a similar description somewhere in your documentation and comment here to let the team know when you've added that.

@thodson-usgs and @alessandroamaranto This seems to be a sufficient statement of scholarly effort. Are you both satisfied? @alessandroamaranto anything else you need to continue your review?

thodson-usgs commented 3 months ago

For JOSS, I'm satisfied. But I'll pick on this point a little more, b/c it isn't the only package in this space. I don't think you need to list them, but if this package is primarily a preprocessor targeting a particular model (i.e. Parflow) then say so. If it's more general, I would list some of the specific models that it's helpful for. Your readers will appreciate that.

amy-defnet commented 3 months ago

Thanks @rwegener2: I've updated our README to also include the "state of the field" description that we had added to our manuscript.

rwegener2 commented 3 months ago

@alessandroamaranto Do you have any questions to finish your review?

alessandroamaranto commented 3 months ago

Sorry for the delay but..my daughter was born! If I remember correctly, I was basically ok with the idea of the state of the field section for giving the green light. I will just have a look at the final version in the afternoon (but just to cross all the t's), and then proceed.

amy-defnet commented 2 months ago

Congratulations, @alessandroamaranto! Thanks for the review.

@rwegener2 can you advise on what the next steps are? Let me know if you need anything from our end. Thanks!

Congratulations @alessandroamaranto!!!

rwegener2 commented 2 months ago

@rwegener2 can you advise on what the next steps are?

Yes, thanks for checking in @amy-defnet . The next step is for me to perform the post-review checks. I'll start that process now. There will be a few steps for you, which I'll post below. Once you and I both finish our steps we will be ready for the final set of checks by the Track Editor-in-Chief, who will then, upon recommendation, publish the article.

Hi @amy-defnet πŸ‘‹πŸ»

Just a few minor requests for the text:

Cross through is the existing text to be deleted. Bolded text is text to be added. Thanks!

amy-defnet commented 2 months ago

Thanks, @rwegener2! I've adjusted the text given your suggestions.

I created a tagged release, which is version 1.1.12. I archived this with Zenodo and confirmed that the metadata there aligns with the paper title and authors. The DOI is: 10.5281/zenodo.12700800.

Let me know if you need anything else!
