[Futuregen] Fw: Your submission SSM-D-22-00468

[Ricardo Rodrigues]

Dear all,

As feared, the cohort paper was desk rejected by the Soc Scie and Medicine (on the grounds of not "health" enough). As planned, I will re-submit this to The Gerontologist.

Susan, I will try to get your academic titles right, this time. 🙂
Best wishes,
Ricardo

Dear Dr. Rodrigues,

Thank you for submitting your paper for consideration of publication in Social Science & Medicine and we deeply apologize for taking much longer than usual to give you a decision due to COVID-19 and high volume of submissions.

At Social Science & Medicine we prioritise papers which contribute substantially to one of the major health social sciences, answer health policy questions of global relevance, and are of particular interest to a wide international readership. Although we think you are answering an interesting research question, we also felt that your paper did not really answer a health policy question per se. As such, we have decided against forwarding your manuscript for further review.

We would like to encourage you to use the transfer feature provided by Elsevier to transfer your manuscript to a more suitable journal. You may find more details about this feature below.

Thank you for letting us consider your manuscript. We hope our decision does not discourage you from submitting to us in the future.

Sincerely,
Health Policy Editorial Office
Social Science & Medicine
