Glossary #12

Closed mhesselbarth closed 3 years ago

mhesselbarth commented 3 years ago

You might have seen that I added a glossary at the beginning of the manuscript. I discussed the paper with my lab (in which no one has a landscape ecology background) and they said it might be a good idea for such a paper to have a glossary at the beginning for people without pre-knowledge of the field.

Please add any terms you think might be helpful.

Nowosad commented 3 years ago

Hi Max, I like the glossary. I will look at the paper tomorrow and think what we should add to the glossary.

That being said, I think the paper is quite solid now, and we should slowly finish it up. What do we miss now, except an abstract?

mhesselbarth commented 3 years ago

Yeah, basically the abstract is missing, include your map figure and make sure that all packages are included in the big table. Not sure if @jmsigner and @laurajanegraham made sure everything they added is in the table.

I also got some feedback that for all sub-sections some more examples or typical workflows would be helpful, but I don't really know how to do that since its so individual depending on the research question, data, usecase, etc...

jmsigner commented 3 years ago

I just added the movement packages (https://github.com/r-spatialecology/Paper_open_source_tools/commit/495eca0b30fef95ed775b40ce258b7028f744efc) to final table. I could carefully read again through the whole paper on Monday and likely add some terms to the glossary and give a first draft for the abstract.

laurajanegraham commented 3 years ago

I've added a spatial stats section to the table. Can take a look over the paper and glossary on Monday too.

mhesselbarth commented 3 years ago

2d696a1 I tried to update the conclusions section a bit before you folks look over the paper again next week.

jmsigner commented 3 years ago

I just did several small changes and updates (ae63050bb8bc717455b3da10124b7dcf7497fffd). @mhesselbarth I left at several places where I was unsure a comment, so you can decide if you would like to keep it or change.

Glossary

Should we also include GDAL and PROJ? I think we should definately include 'simple feature' and 'EPSG' (I added a sentence on EPSGs where we talk about projections). I think it would be good to introduce simple features as well. Maybe just after discussing the different data types?

I haven't started with the Abstract, will do this tomorrow or Wednesday.

I think all four (GDAL, PROJ, simple feature, and EPSG) make sense in the glossary yes

laurajanegraham commented 3 years ago

Hi all, I've added these 4 to the glossary. I've also added descriptions where I've found it necessary (e.g. API, CRS, CRAN).

Simple features still needs adding to the main text - I wasn't 100% sure where and what to write, so have left it for now.
