Motivation: I received the following message:

Thank you for submitting your manuscript to the International Journal of Nursing Studies. The Editorial Committee has considered your paper. We regret to inform you that it has not been accepted for publication.
We are only able to publish a small proportion of papers submitted and so this sometimes happens with perfectly good papers which we are unable to make a priority to publish because competition for space is high or the fit to the journal's aim is not sufficiently close. You might wish to consider submitting your paper to a more specialist journal, such as the Journal of Nursing Management.
We hope that an early decision gives you opportunity to pursue publication elsewhere. We wish you luck and hope that you will consider the International Journal of Nursing Studies again in the future.
