👋🏼 @simonpcouch, @prdm0, @kellieotto - this is the review thread for the submission. All of our communications will happen here from now on.

Both reviewers have checklists at the top of this thread. 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 directly in the software repository. If you do so, please mention this thread so that a link is created (and I can keep an eye on what is happening). Please also feel free to comment and ask questions in this thread. It is often easier to post comments/questions/suggestions as you come across them instead of waiting until you've reviewed the entire package.

Please feel free to ping me (@csoneson) if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!

@csoneson @simonpcouch: I've gone through the review checklist and just left two issues pertaining to functionality documentation, tidymodels/infer#415 and tidymodels/infer#416. I'll take another look when those are resolved.

👋🏻 @simonpcouch - I went through the submission and it looks good to me! Only a couple of things related to the references:

  • There's a missing space between Modern and Dive in Ismay & Kim (2019)
  • Could you provide more info/a link for Downey (2016)?
  • I'd recommend adding references for the packages mentioned in the "Comparison to other packages" section

Could you fix these and ask whedon to generate a new proof (with @whedon generate pdf)?

The next steps would then be to:

  • Make a tagged release of the software, and list the version tag of the archived version here.
  • Archive the reviewed software in Zenodo or a similar service
  • Check that the archival deposit (e.g., in Zenodo) has the correct metadata. In particular, the title and author list should be identical to those of the paper. You can also add the authors' ORCID.
  • Please list the DOI of the archived version here.

I can then move forward with accepting the submission.

Great, thanks @simonpcouch! Just one final tiny detail...could you please case protect the final "R" in the title of Pruim et al (so it shows up as 'R' instead of 'r')? Then I'll pass the submission on for the final steps.
