Dear Dr Metzner,
Many thanks for your recent submission to BMC Medicine (above).
My colleagues and I have now had the chance to consider your manuscript and I'm very sorry to say it seems to us that, on this occasion, it would not be appropriate for BMC Medicine. Your manuscript does not represent a profound step forward in understanding to be of broad interest to people outside the field.
However, we feel that your manuscript would be suited to the scope and readership of another of our journals, BMC Psychiatry (http://www.biomedcentral.com/bmcpsychiatry/).
We have copied over the details of your manuscript to BMC Psychiatry, and if you wish to proceed with the review process in BMC Psychiatry, you can follow this link:
http://www.biomedcentral.com/author/manuscript/details/view.do?manuscriptId=1728764090338180
In addition, please include an explicit statement in your methods outlining why you did not need to obtain ethical approval for your study (we accept your explanation, we would just prefer that you make it clear and transparent in your manuscript text).
You will need to arrange payment with BMC Psychiatryat the same time. Please note that the article processing charge for manuscripts published in BMC Psychiatry is £1025.
Thank you for your interest in BMC Medicine.
With best wishes,
Robin.
