[REVIEW]: bcdata: An R package for searching & retrieving data from the B.C. Data Catalogue #2927
Comments
Hello human, I'm @whedon, a robot that can help you with some common editorial tasks. @tweed1e, @MilesMcBain it looks like you're currently assigned to review this paper 🎉. Due to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, JOSS is currently operating in a "reduced service mode". You can read more about what that means in our blog post. ⭐ Important ⭐ If you haven't already, you should seriously consider unsubscribing from GitHub notifications for this (https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews) repository. As a reviewer, you're probably currently watching this repository which means for GitHub's default behaviour you will receive notifications (emails) for all reviews 😿 To fix this do the following two things:

@tweed1e, @MilesMcBain - This is the review thread for the paper. All of our communications will happen here from now on. Please read the "Reviewer instructions & questions" in the first comment above. Both reviewers have checklists at the top of this thread (in that first comment) with the JOSS requirements. 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 #2927 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 make a start well 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. Our bot Whedon will send an automated reminder in a couple of weeks to see how you're getting along. |
A potential COI is that I work for the Canadian federal government and this package was developed by the BC provincial government. But I've never worked with the authors of the pkg. @arfon can you waive that COI? |
Yes, this is fine. Thanks for disclosing this - please proceed. |
Sorry @arfon I can't check boxes in the lists, probably because the collaborator invite expired? |
@whedon re-invite @MilesMcBain as reviewer |
OK, the reviewer has been re-invited. @MilesMcBain please accept the invite by clicking this link: https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/invitations |
Yes, I think so. Please try the invite link again as I've now re-invited you. |

I've finished my first pass review. This is a really great package, potentially best in class. The I also appreciate from an end user's perspective the attention to detail in the print methods, messages, errors, and warnings. It's quite chatty in a reassuring way, and I think it lowers the level of R experience required for good results significantly. The documentation is high quality, especially the three vignettes, which do a good job of unveiling features without overwhelming. There are a few issues to resolve but all fairly minor. Congratulations to the authors! Current blockers to acceptance are:
And I would strongly recommend taking some action to rectify usability feedback item 5 (UF5): |
Thank you @MilesMcBain! Your kind words are very much appreciated and your extensive feedback even more so. You've done us and the package such a service. Looking forward to digging into your feedback. |
Hi @afron, all boxes now checked from my perspective. 👍 |
@boshek - At this point could you make a new release of this software that includes the changes that have resulted from this review. Then, please make an archive of the software in Zenodo/figshare/other service and update this thread with the DOI of the archive? For the Zenodo/figshare archive, please make sure that:
I can then move forward with accepting the submission. |
Thanks @arfon |
@whedon set 10.5281/zenodo.4737824 as archive |
OK. 10.5281/zenodo.4737824 is the archive. |
