2020-11-04Appendix of long paper added, optionally we can disable itMohammad Akhlaghi-306/+24
Given the referee reports, after discussing with the editors of CiSE, we decided that it is important to include the complete appendix we had before that included a thorough review of existing tools and methods. However, the appendix will not be published in the paper (due to the strict word-count limit). It will only be used in the arXiv/Zenodo versions of the paper. This actually created a technical problem: we want the commit hash of the project source to remain the same when the paper is built with an appendix or without it. To fix this problem the choice of including an appendix has gone into the 'project' script as a run-time option called '--no-appendix'. So by default (when someone just runs './project make'), the PDF will have an appendix, but when we want to submit to the journal, or when the appendix isn't needed for a certain reason, we can use this new option. The appendix also has its own separate bibliography. Some other corrections made in this commit: 1. Some new references were added that had an '_' in their source, they were corrected in 'references.tex'. 2. I noticed that 'preamble-style.tex' is not actually used in this paper, so it has been deleted.
2020-08-20Data lineage and replicated plot in one rowMohammad Akhlaghi-31/+261
Until now, the replicated plot had the width of the full page and the data lineage graph was under it. Together they were covering more than half of the height of the page! But the plot showing the number of papers with tools really doesn't have too much detail, and all the space was being wasted. With this commit, the plot is now much much thinner and the data lineage graph has been fitted to the right of it.
2020-08-20Imported recent updates in Maneage, minor conflicts fixedMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+12
Some very minor conflicts came up and were easily corrected. They were mostly in parts that are also shared with the demonstration in the core Maneage branch.
2020-07-04Better names and comments in INPUTS.confMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
Until now, the dataset's configuration names had a 'WFPC2' prefix. But this very alien to anyone that is not familiar with the history of the Hubble Space Telescope (the camera is no longer used! Its just used here since its one of the standard FITS files from the FITS standard webpage). With this commit the variable names have been modified to be more readable and clear (having a 'DEMO-' prefix). Also the comments of 'INPUTS.conf' (describing the purpose of each variable) were edited and made more clear.
2020-07-04Citing Maneage paper in acknowledgmentsMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
In the previous commit, the modified abstract of the acknowledgments only included the URL of Maneage, but its more formal to cite the Maneage paper, the URL is already present in the paper.
2020-06-18Better step-by-step implementation of the data-lineage figureMohammad Akhlaghi-104/+87
Until now, the data-lineage figure's step-by-step feature (using the macros defined at the top) didn't correspond to the new format! It was still based on the purely-hypothetical format, while the boxes and their contents had changed. With this commit, they macros and corresponding parts that they create have been updated to represent the step-by-step data lineage of this paper. Also, in the "tools-per-year" plot, the green line was brought ontop of the histogram to be more clear (especially when transparency isn't implemented properly in the conversion).
2020-06-17Better color for project branch in branching figureMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
Until now the color for the branching figure'e "project" branch was too close to the Derved project branch. With this commit, I am using a slightly darker shade of brown that is sufficiently differnet from the core Maneage branch and the derived project branch.
2020-06-16Acknowledged contributions of Marios KarouzosMohammad Akhlaghi-28/+29
Marios had read the first draft of the paper (Commit f990bba) and provided valuable feedback (shown below) that ultimately helped in the current version. But because of all the work that was necessary in those days, I forgot to actually thank him in the acknowledgment, while I had implemented most of his thoughts. Following Marios' thoughts on the Git branching figure, with this commit, I am also adding a few sentences at the end of the caption with a very rough summary of Git. I also changed the branch commit-colors to shades of brown (incrementally becoming lighter as higher-level branches are shown) to avoid the confusion with the blue and green signs within the schematic papers shown in the figure. Marios' comments (April 28th, 2020, on Commit f990bba) ------------------------------------------------------ I think the structure of the paper is more or less fine. There are two places that I thought could be improved: 1) Section 3 (Principles) was somewhat confusing to me in the way that it was structured. I think the main source of confusion is the mixing of what Maeage is about and what other programs have done. I would suggest to separate the two. I would have short intro for the section, similar to what you have now. However, I would suggest to highlight the underlying goals motivating the principles that follow: reproducibility, open science, something else? Then I would go into the details of the seven principles. Some of the principles are less clear to me than others. For example, why is simplicity a guiding principle? Then some other principles appear to be related, for example modularity, minimal complexity and scalability to my eyes are not necessarily separate. Finally, I would separate the comparison with other software and either dedicate a section to that somewhere toward the end of the paper (perhaps a subsection for section 5) or at least condense it and put it as a closing paragraph for Section 3. As it is now I think it draws focus from Maneage and also includes some repetitions. 2) Section 4 (Maneage) was at times confusing because it is written, I think in part as a demonstration of Maneage (i.e., including examples that showed how Maneage was used to write this or other papers) and a manual/description of the software. I wonder whether these two aspects can be more cleanly separated. Perhaps it would be possible to first have a section 4 where each of the modules/units of Maneage are listed and explained and then have the following section discuss a working example of Maneage using this or another paper. 3) I found Figure 7 [the git branching figure] and its explanation not very intuitive. This probably has to do with my zero knowledge of github and how versioning there works, but perhaps the description can be a bit more "user friendly" even for those who are not familiar with the tool. 4) I find Section 6 to be rather inconsequential. It does not add anything and it more or less is just a summary of what was discussed. I would personally remove it and include a very short summary of the ideals/principles/goals of Maneage at the beginning of Section 5, before the discussion.
2020-06-14Better comments for the top macros of paper.texMohammad Akhlaghi-20/+0
The default 'paper.tex' starts by defining some macros and comments describing them. Until now, the text was not too clear and could be confusing for someone that is not at all familiar with Maneage. With this commit, the comments have been edited to be more clear for a first-time reader. For example they all start with FULL CAPS summaries. Two other small things were corrected in 'tex/src/preamble-necessary.tex': - Until now 'project.tex' was included in this preamble. However, because of its importance in Maneage, and prominent place in the demonstration plot of the paper introducing Maneage, it is now included directly in 'paper.tex'. This also allows users to safely ignore/delete this preamble file if their LaTeX style is different. - I noticed that some macros for some astronomical software names from the very first commits in Maneage were still present here! They are no longer used, so they have been removed.
2020-06-13Custom-built EPS icons in branching figureMarjan Akbari-432/+2270
Until now, we were using three EPS (created from SVG) that were downloaded from https://www.flaticon.com. Therefore it was necessary to acknowledge the creators and put a link to the webpage. This consumed space in the caption and decreased the originality of the plot. Another problem was that the "collaboration" icon (with three people in it) had arrows, and some of those arrows pointed downwards, make ambiguity in relation to the top-ward arrows under the commits. With this commit, three alternative icons are added that I made from scratch, using Inkscape. The collaboration icon now is two figures and two speech-bubbles, without any arrows.
2020-06-10Updated text of default paper.tex, putting more recent examplesMohammad Akhlaghi-22/+78
The text of the default paper hadn't been changed for a very long time! In this time, three papers using Maneage have been published (which can be very good as an example), Maneage also now has a webpage! With these commit these examples and the webpage have been added and generally it was also polished a little to hopefully be more useful.
2020-06-07Added SoftwareHeritage link, minor typo corrections and clarificationsMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+0
The git history of the project is now archived on SoftwareHeritage and a link to it as was added in the "Reproducible supplement" tag just under the abstract. Also, some corrections were also made in the text. In particular, the part explaining the separation of software and data reproducibility was slightly clarified to be more clear
2020-06-06IMPORTANT: Added publication checklist, improved relevant infrastructureMohammad Akhlaghi-10/+21
Possible semantic conflicts (that may not show up as Git conflicts but may cause a crash in your project after the merge): 1) The project title (and other basic metadata) should be set in 'reproduce/analysis/conf/metadata.conf'. Please include this file in your merge (if it is ignored because of '.gitattributes'!). 2) Consider importing the changes in 'initialize.mk' and 'verify.mk' (if you have added all analysis Makefiles to the '.gitattributes' file (thus not merging any change in them with your branch). For example with this command: git diff master...maneage -- reproduce/analysis/make/initialize.mk 3) The old 'verify-txt-no-comments-leading-space' function has been replaced by 'verify-txt-no-comments-no-space'. The new function will also remove all white-space characters between the columns (not just white space characters at the start of the line). Thus the resulting check won't involve spacing between columns. A common set of steps are always necessary to prepare a project for publication. Until now, we would simply look at previous submissions and try to follow them, but that was prone to errors and could cause confusion. The internal infrastructure also didn't have some useful features to make good publication possible. Now that the submission of a paper fully devoted to the founding criteria of Maneage is complete (arXiv:2006.03018), it was time to formalize the necessary steps for easier submission of a project using Maneage and implement some low-level features that can make things easier. With this commit a first draft of the publication checklist has been added to 'README-hacking.md', it was tested in the submission of arXiv:2006.03018 and zenodo.3872248. To help guide users on implementing the good practices for output datasets, the outputs of the default project shown in the paper now use the new features). After reading the checklist, please inspect these. Some other relevant changes in this commit: - The publication involves a copy of the necessary software tarballs. Hence a new target ('dist-software') was also added to package all the project's software tarballs in one tarball for easy distribution. - A new 'dist-lzip' target has been defined for those who want to distribute an Lzip-compressed tarball. - The '\includetikz' LaTeX macro now has a second argument to allow configuring the '\includegraphics' call when the plot should not be built, but just imported.
2020-06-04Scale element in includegraphics for roughly similar-sized figuresMohammad Akhlaghi-6/+8
Until now, when the figures were built directly from EPS ('\newcommand{\makepdf}{}' was commented), they would take the full line-width becoming a little too large! I noticed this after letting arXiv build the PDF. With this commit, the 'includetikz' tool takes a second argument to be a parameter given to 'includegraphics' (which is scale in this case).
2020-06-04Verification activated, README added, Proper metadata in plot dataMohammad Akhlaghi-3/+3
All the steps following the to-be-added (in 'README-hacking.md') publication checklist prior to the final check from new clone have been added: - 'README.md' file has been set. - "Reproducible supplement" was added just above the keywords, pointing to Zenodo. - A link to the to-be-uploaded data underlying the plot was added in the caption of the tools-per-year plot. - A new meta-data configuration file was added to store basic project metadata to be used throughout the project. This will later be taken into Maneage. For examle the project title is now stored here and written into the paper's LaTeX source and output datasets automatically. - Verification was activated and plot's data and LaTeX macro files are now automatically verified. - A complete metadata was added for the data underlying the plot. - A generic function was added in 'initialize.mk' that will automatically write project info and copyright in all plain-text outputs.
2020-06-03Imported recent updated in Maneage, minor conflict fixedMohammad Akhlaghi-8/+12
The minor conflict was with 'reproduce/software/make/high-level.mk', and in particular because we implemented the fix to Maneage's Task #15664 in this project first. After it was moved to the main Maneage branch some minor stylistic corrections were done to it, thus causing the conflict. To resolve the conflict, I simply imported the full Maneage version of the file with this command: git checkout maneage -- reproduce/software/make/high-level.mk The other conflicts were due to the deleted files (that were resolved as described in 'README-hacking.md') and the LaTeX files that I had told '.gitattributes' to ignore from the Maneage branch.
2020-05-29Reproducible research based on open-access papersBoud Roukema-2/+2491
Publishing a paper on reproducible research without making it easy for readers to read the references would defeat the point. Of course we have to make some compromises with some journals' reluctance to shift towards the free world, but to satisfy scientific ethics, we should at least provide clickable URLs to the references, preferably to the ArXiv version if available [1], and also to the DOI, again, preferably to an open-access version of the URL if available. I was not able to fully get this done in the .bst file, so there's an sed/tr hack done to the .bbl file in `reproduce/analysis/make/paper.mk` to tidy up commas and spaces. This commit also reverts some of the hacks in the Akhlaghi IAU Symposium `tex/src/references.tex` entry, to match the improved .bst file, `tex/src/IEEEtran_openaccess.bst`, provided here with a different name to the original, in order to satisfy the LaTeX licence.

2020-05-29Added top-make.mk as a listing for demonstration, minor editsMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+2
To help show the simplicity of 'top-make.mk', it was included as a listing. I also went over some of Boud's corrections and made small edits. In particular: - The '\label' and '\ref' to a section were removed. I done this after inspecting some of their recent papers and noticing that they generally have a simple flow, without such redirections. - In the part about the RDA adoption grant, I moved the "from the researcher perspective" to the end. Because Austin+2017 is mainly focused on data-center management, not the researcher's. They do touch upon researcher solutions that can help data-base managers, but not directly the researchers. In effect with this grant, they acknowledged that our researcher-focused solution confirms with their criteria for data-base management.
2020-05-23Corrected name of produced demonstration tableMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+2
In order to correspond to the updated datalineage plot, the name of the plotted columns was changed to 'columns.txt', but I had forgot to update it in the LaTeX source and since the old file still remained I hadn't noticed. This was found by Boud and corrected.
2020-05-22Corrected copyright notices to fit GPL suggested formatMohammad Akhlaghi-52/+79
In time, some of the copyright license description had been mistakenly shortened to two paragraphs instead of the original three that is recommended in the GPL. With this commit, they are corrected to be exactly in the same three paragraph format suggested by GPL. The following files also didn't have a copyright notice, so one was added for them: reproduce/software/make/README.md reproduce/software/bibtex/healpix.tex reproduce/analysis/config/delete-me-num.conf reproduce/analysis/config/verify-outputs.conf
2020-05-22Re-write of the paper to fit in ~6000 words and IEEE formatMohammad Akhlaghi-31/+74
Following the fact that the DSJ editor decided that this paper doesn't fit into their scope, we decided to submit it to IEEE's Computing in Science and Engineering (CiSE). So with this commit the text was re-written to fit into their style and word-count limitations.
2020-05-02First implementation of style in IEEEtran styleMohammad Akhlaghi-14/+691
The paper is no longer using LuaLaTeX, but raw LaTeX (that saves a DVI), it is so much faster! Initially I had used LuaLaTeX to use special fonts to resemble the CODATA Data Science Journal, but all that overhead is no longer necessary. Therefore I also removed the MANY extra LaTeX packages we were importing. The paper builds and is able to construct one of its images (the git-branching figure) with only 7 packages beyond the minimal TeX/LaTeX installation. Also in terms of processing it is so much faster. The text is just temporary now, and mainly just a place holder. With the next commit, I'll fill it with proper text.
2020-05-01Imported recent changes in Maneage, minor conflicts fixedMohammad Akhlaghi-35/+25
A few small conflicts showed up here and there. They are fixed with this merge.
2020-05-01Added interesting references by DavidMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+31
David suggested some interesting references in particular about the problems with Juypyter notebooks that are now added to the long version of the paper. We'll later decide if/how they can be used.
2020-04-23Further edits to summarize the parts corrected by BoudMohammad Akhlaghi-4/+4
[Compared to first submission to DSJ last week with 11436 words in raw PDF, we have decreased the paper by ~1000 words to 10493 :-)] As with the previous commits, the moment Boud changed the structure of sentences, I was able to find the redundancies and remove them! This is a fascinating feature of collaboration I had never felt before: it is so hard to find redundancies in my own raw text, but even a minor correction by someone else suddeny breaks my mental memories/barrier on the sentence, allowing me to be more critical to it! Anyway, besides such corrections, I fixed a few other things: 1) In the DSJ's recently published papers, ther is no `~' between "Figure" and its number. 2) I noticed that in `tex/src/figure-src-inputconf.tex' I was actually using manually input strings for the filename, checksum and size! This was contrary to the whole philosophy of Maneage(!), I must have rushed and forgot! So LaTeX variables are now defined and used.
2020-04-234.3.5 Project analysis - downloadsBoud Roukema-1/+1
Reduction by about 7 words. I added "internet security" as an extra reason for having all the downloads in a single file. Modularity and minimal complexity in themselves generally contribute to internet security, but in this case, it's obvious that having all the communication with the outside world managed through a single file makes internet security management much simpler. I replaced the "fake URL" by the real one, because at least in the present format, the URL fits in nicely. So both `paper.tex` and `tex/src/figure-src-inputconf.tex` are modified in this commit.
2020-04-22Implemented Konrad's suggestions, minor edits here and thereMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+4
Today Konrad made the following suggestions after reading through the paper (created from Commit 1ac5c12). Thanks a lot Konrad ;-). I tried to address them all in this commit. Afterwards, while looking over the corrected parts, some minor edits came up to me to remove redundant parts and add extra points where it helps. In particular to be able to print the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), I had to include the LaTeX `TIPA' package, but it was interesting to see that it was already available in the project as a dependency of another package we loaded.
2020-04-20Maneage instead of Template in README-hacking.md and copyright noticesMohammad Akhlaghi-89/+65
Until now, throughout Maneage we were using the old name of "Reproducible Paper Template". But we have finally decided to use Maneage, so to avoid confusion, the name has been corrected in `README-hacking.md' and also in the copyright notices. Note also that in `README-hacking.md', the main Maneage branch is now called `maneage', and the main Git remote has been changed to `https://gitlab.com/maneage/project' (this is a new GitLab Group that I have setup for all Maneage-related projects). In this repository there is only one `maneage' branch to avoid complications with the `master' branch of the projects using Maneage later.
2020-04-18Two papers cited, for research software and data management plansMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+18
These are important aspects that are highly relevant to Maneage: its philosophy (the former) and usability (the latter). To add them, I tried to summarize some other parts of the paper.
2020-04-17Edited the text, normal sized bibliography and TARGETS.conf in figMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+2
I had another look at the text and tried to summarize it a little more while also fixing several typos that I had just discovered! In the process, I noticed that we hadn't actually put a link to Maneage's main Git repository! So we now have the URL as a `git clone' command. Also, I thought that its better to show the `TARGETS.conf' file (which we actually talk about) in the file architecture instead of `LOCAL.conf.in' (which we don't talk about any more!). Finally, to be more similar with DSJ, the bibliography is now in normal font size, not footnotesize.
2020-04-14Further text shrink, added Competing interest and Author contributionsMohammad Akhlaghi-8/+22
To make the text easier to read and further comply with the author guideline, the text was shrank a little more and the two final sections were also added on "Competing interest" and "Author contributions". I also found the CODATA logo on Wikipedia in SVG format (vector graphics), so I replaced the previous pixelated PNG format with the PDF (converted from SVG).
2020-04-13Full existing contents summaried, only discussion to goMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
The contents until two commits ago when I started to summarize the paper are now in a new and shorter format: previously the discussion started on page 25, but now it starts on page 17. It is still a little longer than 8000 words, but not as significantly as before. I will add the discussion and also try to summarize it futher before submission.
2020-04-10Renamed initial paper to paper-long.tex, to write shorter new versionMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+2588
We just recently recognied that the final paper should not be longer than 8000 words. The easiest way was just to start a new `paper.tex' and bring in parts from the original/long version. We can use all the hard work that went into writing the long paper later (possibly in a manual for Maneage). So I don't want to suddenly distroy its history at this point. To let Git know about renaming the original `paper.tex' to `tex/src/paper-long.tex', I am making this commit. This commit doesn't have any `paper.tex' and only records the fact that it has been renamed. In the next commit, I'll re-create `paper.tex' which will host the short/final version. But thanks to this commit, if we later make any changes to long version, Git will know that it was originally the main `paper.tex'.
2020-04-02Rewrote abstract, better organization in publishing sectionMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+59
I hadn't updated the abstract since first writing it. With this commit, it has been updated to be more precise and generically interesting, focusing more on the principles and usability. I also greatly improved the section on publishing the workflow.
2020-04-01Added a README.md file under the top-level tex/ directoryMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+59
The subdirectories here (and the fact that they may be symbolic links) may be confusing for some early project users, so a `README.md' file was added there describing them and when they are links, when directories and when some may not yet exist.
2020-03-31First draft of the version control section and figure completeMohammad Akhlaghi-66/+72
The figure was greatly improved, becoming much more clear and descriptive of some of the main advantages of having version control in a complete project like Maneage.
2020-03-30Section on starting new projects, and publishing project addedMohammad Akhlaghi-5/+165
With the main structure of Maneage explained, I have started to explain how a new project is created, along with a schematic diagram that shows two scenarios of how Git can help with project management.
2020-03-28Cleaned up the introduction, definitions for provenance and lineageMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+35
Until now, the introduction had repeated several things and also had a relatively long list of things to add in its end. Also, it was highly focused to scientific papers. With this commit, I effectively re-wrote it, with the starting paragraphs becoming more industry-friendly, while also focusing on the scientific cases. Many of the repetative parts were removed and the listed items in the end were put into the text in a much better context. Also, now that the name of the system involves "lineage" (and a lot of focus is put on it in the start) the terms data provenance and lineage were defined in the definition section. Some other intersting points that I encountered during the research on definitions were added to the discussion and final lists, and the DOI of one reference paper was corrected.
2020-03-23Analysis and configuration file sections completeMohammad Akhlaghi-28/+126
With this commit a description of these two important parts have been added to the project, along with several figures showing various parts of the files that are discussed. I also done some other restructuring of the figures and files to make things fit better into the the description of the paper.
2020-03-08Menke+20 example: properly count number of papers with softwareMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
Until now, I was mistakenly multiplying the fraction of papers in that journal. This is corrected with this commit.
2020-03-08Edited description of example subMakefile for analysis-1Mohammad Akhlaghi-5/+14
In order to make the description more clear and readable, the rules in the demonstrated Makefile (and their links to the data lineage plot) were made more clear.
2020-03-02Described the first analysis phase with a demo subMakefileMohammad Akhlaghi-26/+130
Until now, there was no explanation on an actual analysis phase, therefore with this commit an example scenario with a readable Makefile is included. The Data lineage graph was also simplified to both be more readable, and also to correspond to this new explanation and subMakefile. Some random edits/typos were also corrected and some references added for discussion.
2020-02-16Menke+2020 data is now imported and ready for later steps in plain textMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
The main problems with this dataset was the names of the journals (which sometimes have single quotes or apostrophes in them that is really annoying for SED)! But ultimately, for the simple study we want to do here, the journal names are irrelevant, so in the end I just ignored the names. Later we can set an identifier for the journals if necessary. But now we have the basic information in a way that is usable in a plot to show in this paper.
2020-02-15Edits in text, added Menke+2020 as a referenceMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+14
The text was slightly improved/edited and I also recently came up to the Menke et al. 2020 (DOI:10.1101/2020.01.15.908111) which also has some good datasets we can use as a demonstration here.
2020-02-07Edited parts of the textMohammad Akhlaghi-18/+24
While reading over the already written parts (and hopefully complete the paper), they were edited/corrected to be more clear.
2020-02-06Minor edits to various partsMohammad Akhlaghi-17/+54
Some edits were made after rereading of some parts.
2020-01-27Analysis phase description started with Final paper and verificationMohammad Akhlaghi-43/+49
With this commit, the general outline of the analysis phase is given, as well as a description of the LaTeX macros and their relation to the paper and thier verification. Also, the data-lineage figure was updated to have references.tex also and some resizing of the folders in file-architecture to be more clear.
2020-01-26General project structure and configuration describedMohammad Akhlaghi-66/+151
In the last few days I have been writing these two sections in the middle of other work. But I am making this commit because it has already become a lot! I am now going onto the description of `./project make'.
2020-01-20New rendering of the file architecture plotMohammad Akhlaghi-193/+108
Until now the file architecture plot at the directories ontop of the top-level files. This made it hard to visually identify the top-level files. They are not placed ontop of the sub-directories and some space is added to highlight the files in the top-level directory and those in the subdirectories. Two other changes were made: - The symbolic links created in the top source directory are also shown. - The coding of this figure was made much more elegant by defining a PGFPlots node class and just changing the things that are direrent between each directory.
2020-01-20Added figure showing project's file structureMohammad Akhlaghi-3/+252
It was a little hard to describe the file structure so instead of using a standard listing as most papers do, I thought of showing the file and directory structure as boxes within each other (modeled on the Gnome disk-utility). Some other polishing was done throughout the paper also.
