Based on the review checklist, small modifications should be done. The A statement of need and Community guidelines could be improved. The use of the software could be very wide inside ecology, but you can specify (more clearly) the target audience.

There is no clear information about how to contribute to the software, report issues or seek support. Despite the users can do that through GitHub, you should make it clear and inform options for non-GitHub users, I think. 😁

👋 @lsw5077 - how are you getting along with your review?

This is an excellent tool that will aid in the development and testing of new species-habitat modeling methods. A few modifications will help it reach the right audience in the ecological community.

  1. The opening statement regarding the importance of species-habitat models to ecology would benefit from a few citations, especially as this will emphasize the importance of the tool the authors present.
  2. On a related note, a clearer statement of need in the paper and the tutorial will help the tool find the right audience and encourage users to adopt it.
  3. I agree that a clearer community guidelines statement will help ensure that the tool continues to meet the needs of the ecological community.

Thank you for sharing your work! It is well-conceived, elegantly coded, and clearly communicated.

Many thanks @ViniciusBRodrigues and @lsw5077 for your comments 😃 !

I've updated things such that:

  1. I have included a Community guidelines section in the README so folks know how best to report bugs, seek help, and suggest/make developments. Apologies from me for neglecting to include that first time around 😞
  2. I have reworded why the software is needed in the paper to try and make the need stronger and clearer. You were both right that we had neglected to include that need in the README, so that has now been added there too.
  3. I've also inserted what I think is the best easily accessed general reference to species-environment models in the paper so anyone interested to know more about their importance can look into things further.

@arfon I've also got the excellent whedon robot to regenerate the pdf, so hopefully everything should be up to date for you

@tretherington - 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:

  • The title of the archive is the same as the JOSS paper title
  • That the authors of the archive are the same as the JOSS paper authors

I can then move forward with accepting the submission.

@arfon I've created a new release v1.0.1 and I have archived the software in my institution's data store here: https://datastore.landcareresearch.co.nz/dataset/virtualnicher which the DOI of 10.7931/cae9-bt94
