Motivation: The feedback provided by the editor to justify the rejection was quite generic and not argumented, therefore not very useful.

Motivation: The manuscript was thoroughly read and evaluated by the handling editor as well as discussed with additional editors. The work was considered important, however, not of high enough interest for a broader audience. Direct transfer to Nature Communications was proposed.

Motivation: It is Nature Methods' policy to decline a substantial proportion of manuscripts without peer-review, so that they may be sent elsewhere without delay. Decisions of this kind are made by the editorial staff when it appears that papers are unlikely to succeed in the competition for limited space.

Among the considerations that arise at this stage are a manuscript's probable interest, level of methodological development and immediate practical relevance to a general readership. We do not doubt the technical quality of your work or that it will be of interest to others who wish to reduce the speckle effect during OCT imaging. However, I am sorry to say we do not think that the technical advances presented will have a sufficiently significant and immediate impact on a broader readership to justify publication in Nature Methods.
