Hi,<br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>find the RSI decision attached below. As Joachim rightly predicted, RSI is not the right journal. </div>
<div>As soon as I find time, I will reformat for Journal of Applied Crystallography and resubmit.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>

Dear Dr. Koennecke, <br>
<br>
The manuscript you have submitted is not appropriate for the readership of RSI, but instead contains material that might be suitable for a different Publication.
<br>
<br>
Sincerely, <br>
<br>

Manuscript #A142437: <br>
<br>
<br>
Editor's Specific Comments: <br>
This manuscript doesn't fit as a paper for RSI. There is no category for it. I refer you to the General Editorial Policies. We require a report of a new instrument or a new technique. Sometimes software does qualify as an "instrument". Examples of this are
software to operate a scanning probe and Labview instruments. But this paper is not even a report of new software. It is a progress report on a data format standard. Peer review could not proceed as normal (can Nexus be "rejected" ?) , which corroborates the
conclusion that it is not appropriate for RSI. A conference proceedings may be the best option.
<br>
