[NeXus-committee] Fwd: RSI: MS A142437 Decision Letter

[Koennecke Mark (PSI)]

Hi,

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

Regards,

    Mark

Dear Dr. Koennecke,

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.

Sincerely,

Albert T. Macrander, Editor-in-Chief
Review of Scientific Instruments

Manuscript #A142437:


Editor's Specific Comments:
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.
-- A. Macrander
