Pre-submission enquiry
Hello, I and my colleagues at Vizlab have been using in the last two years an application I have developed. It allows us to open, visualize and process hyperspectral data collected using spectroradiometers. This software was used in some scientific publications such as Kerogen Type Classification in Hydrocarbon Source Rocks Using Hyperspectral Data and Machine Learning.
The repo is found here and it is possible to use a live demo here
Does it qualify as a submission to JOSS?
Possibly, although packages that focus on visualisation are generally out of scope for JOSS.
Looking at the repo, it's a little challenging to figure out where the main contributions from you (the authors) are, as opposed to dependencies such as d3.js. Could you link directly to the main application logic that has been created as part of this work?
I would say that the main application logic is in sample.js and smoth_derivative.js source files, although there is some app logic in view_controller.js as well. The chart.js is mainly for handling alterations in the SVG graph by calling appropriate functions of d3.js as the user interacts with the plot. Our most recent publication that used this code to plot spectral data is this.
Apologies for the slow reply. This looks like it would be out of scope for us sorry. Mostly because it looks like it would fall foul of our substantial scholarly effort criterion.
One possible alternative to JOSS is to follow GitHub's guide on how to create a permanent archive and DOI for your software. This DOI can then be used by others to cite your work.
