sci论文投稿信件模板下载

一般向SCI投稿论文时都会写一份Cover letter，即投稿信。它是为了帮助 编辑 快速了解文章内容和找到合适的审稿人，一篇内容恰当的cover letter会给你的工作锦上添花，掷出投稿第一块敲门砖。

但 Cell Press 的editor觉得不少人都不知道为什么要写Cover letter，错误地在这部分重复摘要中的内容，这无疑是极大的浪费。因此就有了下面的指导，跟着 Cell 学，离投 Cell 就不远了。

我稍微整理了一下格式，并将重点加以标记。后面提供了三份 模板 ，有一份有详细的注释。

Cover letters are provided for editors only , which means that, unlike the title and abstract that will be visible to, let’s hope, billions of people once the paper is published, the cover letter is going to be seen and read by a very tiny group of people.

Nevertheless, these are the people who have the responsibility to decide whether a manuscript is suitable for consideration in the journal it was submitted to . So, convincing the editors that your paper makes a valuable contribution to the knowledge in the field is important, and that’s why you need to put your cover letter to work.

The cover letter is your first “formal” interaction with a journal, and it embodies a request, so to speak, to consider your article for publication. But it also provides you with an excellent opportunity to present the significance of your scientific contribution.

Some Tips from Catarina, the Editor of Trends in Molecular Medicine.

Two aspects you need to understand clearly.

1). Let’s start with content.

You should succinctly explain what was previously known and then state your motivation for wishing to publish.

Such as:

2). Get to the point .

Succinctly explain the topic of discussion , and quickly convey the key conclusions . Generally, one page suffices and is preferred.

3). Do not rehash the abstract of the paper .

Copying and pasting the abstract into your cover letter verbatim is a big no-no . Instead, you need to venture beyond the summary: write a sentence that takes you further than the obvious conclusions .

Such as:

4). Get excited !

Your excitement about the scientific contributions can undoubtedly inspire the editor who’s reading the cover letter. Overall, the sentiment of “ you’re gonna love reading this paper! “ should seep through—make that happen!

5). Including a wish list of reviewers .

Relevant information on potential reviewers (including their field of expertise) can be included and is definitely a plus , as it can be quite helpful to the editor .

Don’t provide a long list of excluded reviewers (three maximum), and most certainly do not suggest excluding authors from entire continents on the map! Also, save the editor some time by specifying which author should be the lead contact , and indicate their affiliation.

当然这一部分有的会直接在投稿系统中填写，就不需要占用Cover letter的空间了。

6). Keep it simple and humble .

In terms of style, consider sincerity and simplicity . Statements indicating that the article or related findings have been presented at X number of conferences and are “tremendously” well received by the scientific community—or otherwise— do not add much to the cover letter. They might instead suggest right off the bat that a lot of cooing and convincing of the journal editor will be required. So let the “science” speak for itself . Also, a statement declaring that the article is original and isn’t being considered elsewhere can only add to your cause!

7). Proofread your letter by checking the spelling, grammar, and syntax .

8). Check every detail .

Avoid mistakes such as directing the cover letter to the editor(s) of a different journal, or to a different journal altogether .

A poor example:

sci投稿cover letter写法如下：

1、第一部分主要是告诉编辑，我的文章标题和文章类型，并且写上我们没有一稿多投的情况。首先，我们用斜体字写上期刊的名字，再跟编辑打个招呼。（如下图所示）

这一部分，主要是介绍文章的亮点和主要内容。先用一句话概括文章的核心内容：This manuscript addresses XXX。

2、简单的介绍一下文章背景和一些关键词。接下来，再说明在这方面其他人已经做了什么（可以引用参考文献），有什么研究上的空白，进而引出文章的亮点。

如果觉得投稿信篇幅过长，或者对自己的表达不够自信的话，可以直接介绍自己文章的亮点即可。在描述亮点的时候切忌浮夸，要给人家低调奢华有内涵的感觉。

第二段的写法比较多样化，只需用简洁的语言把文章的内容和亮点讲清楚即可。如果是综述类型的文章，还可以按照摘要的写法，简单描述一下自己总结了什么。这一部分，写上一些客套话，再附上通讯作者的信息，收尾。（如下图所示）

3、最后附上通讯作者的信息：Name，Degree，address and institution，phone，email等。有的期刊还需要提供通讯作者的传真（fax）。

最后来一句Sincerely yours，以表敬意。最后再来一个署名XXX。

cover letter写作要点

首先，向编辑简要介绍一下论文的内容以及参与此项研究工作的作者名单。在这里不需要太详细，即使是工作中包含了一些复杂的实验部分。

其次，重点解释为什么该研究是有创新性的而且会受大家感兴趣。在这里，你可以介绍有哪些创新性的技术被用到、你的实验样本数量足够多、研究成果将对这个领域有较大影响等。一些临床国际期刊还要求你介绍这项工作会对将来的实际治疗应用有什么意义。

需要注意的是写作时包含要点而不用仔细解释。同时，尽量让编辑看到你的工作是和所投期刊非常相关的。最好是你的工作也刚好验证了别的研究团队在这个期刊以前发表的成果，或者与他们结果相反，而你也用很好的证明。

再次，你可以介绍你和你的研究团队：主要研究人员，实验室的研究方向，以及与这篇文章的关系。同样，你可以解释为什么要选择这个期刊来投稿。如果此项工作有与其他实验室合作完成，你也可以在这里介绍相关合作团队。

最后，声明你的文章没有任何利益方面的冲突（查询各期刊在利益冲突政策方面的描述，因为每个期刊有不同的相关规定）。同时，你需要表明这项研究没有发表过，而且也没同时在别的期刊投稿。
