Dear Dr Prevedel
Thank you for submitting your manuscript "A standardized file format and open-source analysis framework for Brillouin microscopy data” to Nature Methods. I am pleased to tell you that we are sending your paper out for formal peer review.
If you have not done so already, please alert us to any related manuscripts from your group that are under consideration or in press at other journals, or are being written up for submission to other journals (see www.nature.com/authors/policies/duplicate.html for details).
Nature Methods is committed to improving transparency in authorship. As part of our efforts in this direction, we are now requesting that all authors identified as ‘corresponding author’ on published papers create and link their Open Researcher and Contributor Identifier (ORCID) with their account on the Manuscript Tracking System (MTS), prior to acceptance. This applies to primary research papers only. ORCID helps the scientific community achieve unambiguous attribution of all scholarly contributions. You can create and link your ORCID from the home page of the MTS by clicking on ‘Modify my Springer Nature account’. For more information please visit please visit www.springernature.com/orcid <http://www.springernature.com/orcid>.
On a case by case basis we coordinate a brief consultation between referees and editors after all referee reports have been received. This is to improve the peer review process and the feedback provided to authors. Referees are given the opportunity to make comments on their peers’ concerns and update their reports to comment on issues raised by the other reviewers. If we feel it would be helpful, we will engage reviewers in this additional consultation with the goal of providing you with the most valuable feedback possible.
Thank you very much for your attention to this. We look forward to hearing from you, and please let me know if you have questions.
Yours sincerely Editorial Assistant Nature Methods methods@us.nature.com

Nina Vogt, PhD Senior Editor Nature Methods
