Hi Robert,

First of all, thanks a lot for submitting! That’s too bad they won’t accept, but I guess it’s part of the game ^^ 
Regarding my proposals, I’m currently referencing my repository, which is not ideal but is already a good way to advertise there is something out there. 
I think pushing the preprint to arXiv instead is a great alternative, and should be accepted. If for some reason they reject it, I remember using research square and HAL in the past, so these might be good options too :) 

Best,

Pierre

Dear all,

please see below - surprisingly bioRxiv does not think our manuscript fits and they require more analysis/data.

Shall we quickly submit to arXiv instead? Just let me know!

Best,

Robert

Dear Robert Prevedel;

Thank you for submitting your manuscript to bioRxiv. bioRxiv is intended for complete research papers with new data/analysis rather than announcements of tools/resources/reagents and your submission falls into this category. We are, therefore, returning the manuscript to give you the opportunity to add analyses/data to support the utility of your tool/resource. This data can be added as supplemental information.

If you decide to make these edits, please resupply your manuscript to the above manuscript ID BIORXIV/2025/674600. Please do not submit the manuscript as a new submission with a different manuscript ID number as this will delay screening. You will find this manuscript in the "Papers returned for your attention" section of your author area. Please contact us if you have any questions.

The bioRxiv team
