Actually, it turns out the fix is very straightforward (replacing Rselenium with webdriver), so I'll just lump the fix into the PR.

Yeah - this an excellent point - thank you! I'll update the manuscript to incorperate your suggestion.

@Jo-Schie, I've submitted a PR which aims to incorperate your feedback provided in this issue. When you get a chance, could you please take a look (see #54)?
EDIT: please ignore this comment, I'll add another PR which address this comments as well as #53.

@Jo-Schie, I've submitted a PR which aims to incorperate feedback on both your issues (see #57). Specifically, this PR adds the following paragraph to address your comments. This paragraph makes it clear that the package has defaults which are designed specifically for national-scale protected area coverage assesments, and that these defaults can be customized (if desired) for other purposes. Thanks for proving an example paragraph as a starting point - I found that really helpful! How does that sound?
The \texttt{wdpar} \texttt{R} package is designed to provide a reproducible tool for downloading and cleaning the WDPA and WDOECM. Although the default settings for the data cleaning procedures are well-suited for national scale reporting of protected area coverage, they can be customized for other applications. For example, the precision of spatial data processing procedures can be increased so that they are suitable for local scale analyses. This is especially important because the default precision may remove smooth edges at fine scales. Additionally, the data cleaning procedures can be customized to retain protected areas regardless of their status which, in turn, could be useful for monitoring and evaluation of protected area effectiveness.

@Jo-Schie, I just wanted to follow up and ask if the PR address your concerns on this issue?
from wdpar.
@Jo-Schie, if you get a moment, could you please check whether the PR addresses this issue too?
from wdpar.
yep. I am on it. Is there any link to the new manuscript of the paper? I can only find the old one.
from wdpar.
Brilliant - thank you! Yeah, here's the .Rmd file (https://github.com/prioritizr/wdpar/blob/joschie-review/paper/paper.Rmd) and the PDF version (https://github.com/prioritizr/wdpar/blob/joschie-review/paper/paper.pdf).
from wdpar.
okay. thanks. One question. I do have the feeling that the manuscript is very short, and you do neither show a little snippet of the code of the package nor do you show any output of an example application. I have checked a couple of paper in JOSS who all do that see e.g. here, here or here for papers published just lately.
Now I do understand, that showing code and outputs is not a strict precondition to publish the paper, so I am happy to close the issue also as is. Nevertheless, I suggest that you could add a little bit of the code snippets from your quick-start and maybe a plot to it. I think it could improve the overall quality of the paper since readers will already see what they can expect, but it is up to you if you want to do that or not.
so just give it a thought and comment back so I know when to close the issue.
from wdpar.
The rest seems fine to me btw.
from wdpar.
Awesome - thank you very much! Yeah, I wasn't sure if papers were supposed to include coding examples or not. Yeah, I can put in a small demo and include a figure.
from wdpar.
Just to keep you in the loop, the PhantomJS web driver used by Rselenium no longer works - so the downloading functionality of the package is now broken. So I need to do some updating to wdpar so that it works again. So, I'm going to merge the PR that I've been working on with the changes to adress your feedback so I don't get into merge conflict hell. This will mean that some of your issues will be addressed, and some of them weren't. After merging the PR, I'lll then work on updating the package to fix the web driver issues, and then open a new PR to address your remaining issues. Sorry about this.
from wdpar.
@Jo-Schie, I've just pushed a commit to PR #57 so that the manuscript now contains a short case study and a map showing some protected areas. When you get a chance, could you please take a look? This PR also contains updates to address the web driver data download issues too. To help make it easier to review, I've attached the PDF for the updated manuscript to here: paper.pdf. If the case study is satisfactory, my understanding is that merging the PR would address all your concerns - is that right? I just want to make sure I haven't missed anything.
from wdpar.
I guess you could also Show also some Areal statistics eg sqkm in each iucn category to show the purpose of cleaning the dataset... but that's up to you. @jeffreyhanson i will close This issue so you can merge your changes.
from wdpar.
Thanks! Yeah, I wanted to keep the case study simple. Although I like the idea of providing aerial statistics, I worry that this is difficult to do without adding too much extra code that would require explanation (e.g., calculating aerial statistics would probably be best done using dplyr + sf). I suppose there are base package alternatives (e.g., using base::aggregate), but I wouldn't want to recommend these as best practice (and tidyverse users might find this concercing/confusing). Since I can't think of a simple way to do this, I'll just keep the current stats.
from wdpar.
Thanks so much @Jo-Schie for your amazing review! I really appreciate the time you've taken to provide such thorough and constructive feedback!
