My paper was rejected. Not enough new material, and I'd failed to cite related work.

As well as being annoying, this is worrying: the paper contained almost all the new material that's in my thesis, strongly suggesting that my thesis doesn't contain enough new material either.

Bugger.

On the upside, the reviewer suggested some possible applications and further work: if I could do that, maybe that would be enough.

Doesn't even need to be too classy if it's just not the "right fit". We're doing some new work in my group that we're not sure of the right audience for. People can level all sorts of accusations of pointlessness without noticing the good stuff, if they're just not in the right space to see it.

Indeed - one person's pointless is another person's universe...
