投稿期刊文章时给编辑的信

Cover Letter, 即投稿信，是论文投递时与论文一起发送给编辑的信件，其目的是让编辑在阅读你的论文之前，简单了解你文章的基本情况。 不知道编辑是谁的情况下直接用 Dear editor; 但是，只要用心一点，去期刊官网查找，一般都能找到的。 在以第一段直接给出文章的标题 如 Letter, communications, article, review还是comments。 这个其实也可以不写，因为在投稿时会选择投稿文章类型。 简要包括研究背景，发现以及可以发表在期刊上的原因等等 一般为通讯作者姓名，所属机构，通讯地址，联系电话，邮箱等 经将这一部分挪到了投稿网站系统上，Cover letter中可以不再列出） 讲了这么多，分享一个实际的案例吧。 Dear Dr. Ciaccio, 杂志主编 On behalf of all coauthors, I am submitting our manuscript entitled “文章标题”for your consideration for publication in Biology and Medicine. 我谨代表所有合著者，提交我们题为“文章标题”的手稿，供您考虑在生物学和医学上发表。 Although there has been a large amount of research focusing on medical image segmentation, few studies have focused specifically on the segmentation of tiny organs. The difficulty of tiny organ segmentation is that the shape varies greatly among individuals and the boundary with surrounding tissues is not clear. In the current study, we proposed a 方法, which successfully solves the above two difficulties. The experimental results show that our proposed 方法 outperforms the state-of-the-art deep learning method in segmenting xxx with respect to accuracy. Another strength of our method is that it requires fewer trainable parameters and imposes a smaller demand on computational resources. The proposed method can potentially assist clinicians in diagnosis and treatment planning by quickly inspecting abnormalities in xxx and further quantitative analysis. 虽然已经有大量的研究集中在医学图像分割上，但是很少有研究专门针对微小器官的分割。微小器官分割的难点在于个体间形状差异较大，与周围组织的边界不清晰。 在本研究中，我们提出了一种新的xxx方法，成功地解决了上述两个难题。实验结果表明，我们提出的xxx优于最先进的深度学习方法。我们方法的另一个优点是，它需要较少的可训练参数，并且对计算资源的需求较小。 该方法通过快速检测xxx形态计量学异常和进一步定量分析，有可能帮助临床医生制定诊断和治疗计划。 We believe that this article is appropriate for publication by the Biology and Medicine, it would be of great interest to a broad range of readers including radiologists, clinical researchers, computer scientists, and other researchers in related fields. Finally, we would like to make the following declarations: All authors of this paper have read and approved the final version submitted and contents of this manuscript have not been copyrighted or published previously and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. 我们相信这篇文章适合于生物学和医学出版，它将引起包括放射科医生、临床研究人员、计算机科学家和其他相关领域研究人员在内的广大读者的极大兴趣。 最后，我们谨声明：本文的所有作者均已阅读并批准提交的最终版本，本手稿的内容此前未受版权保护或出版，也未考虑在其他地方出版。(这一段可通用) Thank you for your consideration. I am looking forward to your assessment of our manuscript. 谢谢你的考虑。我期待着你对我们的手稿进行评估。 原文截图： Thank you for your email of Jul 19, 2021 (论文返修时间). We appreciate the encouraging and enthusiastic comments and suggestions made by you and reviewers, on the basis of which we have revised and (we think) strengthened our paper. In particular, we have added a detailed description of xxx, restructured the article to make it more logical and easy to understand. Moreover we added a performance comparison with the xxx algorithm, which is considered as the benchmark in the field of biomedical image segmentation. The results show that our proposed method is superior to xxx in the subfield of xxx segmentation, and our proposed model is much easier to train and deploy. Changes are tracked and highlighted in the revised manuscript, and all our responses to reviewers’ comments are detailed in ‘Response to Reviewers’. (通用，说明修改情况) 感谢您2021年7月19日的电子邮件。我们感谢您和审稿人提出的鼓舞人心和热情的评论和建议，在此基础上，我们修改并（我们认为）加强了我们的论文。 特别是，我们添加了xxx的详细描述，对文章进行了重组，使其更具逻辑性，更易于理解。此外，我们还添加了与xxx算法的性能比较，xxx算法被认为是生物医学图像分割领域的基准。 结果表明，该方法在xxx分割领域优于xxx，且该模型易于训练和部署。修改后的手稿中跟踪并强调了变更，我们对评审员意见的所有回复详见“Response to Reviewers”。 We look forward to hearing your decision on our revised manuscript. 我们期待着听到你对我们修改稿的决定。 原文截图： 有没有给到你启发呢？ 关于论文写作方面的教程一直在更新。查看之前的教程的方法：

如果你是第一次向这个编辑部投稿，应该另写两篇材料：一是“自我介绍”，如过去写过那些稿件，在那些报刊上发表了什么文章，自巳擅长撰写那一方面的稿件等。二是“稿件介绍”，你送的这篇稿子的写作目的和经过，是否可以删改，如果不采用退回到什么地方（邮编、住址、收件人姓名），必要时给编辑部留个电话号码以便联系。

1 投稿信要简单介绍你的工作的创新性,这样便于论文的快速发表,当然也应该客气几句,让编辑感到心里舒服,主要是夸杂志好之类的话; 有人写coverletter,就是写上题目、然后说很荣幸投稿之类地话,也有人干脆把摘要全写上,这样个人认为不好,一定用两到三句话说明你论文“新”在哪,这个非常重要. 2.论坛上很多人说不能写信催编辑,个人认为没关系,必要催信能够让人重视你的论文,一定要让人感到,你的论文在这发不了,好多地方在等着发呢(但很多牛杂志,可不吃这套哟,人家不缺稿,嘿嘿).当然写信的时候要客气,说一些快速发表对于学术讨论和促进工作等方面的重要性之类的话; 3.能写英文,就不投中文稿,特别是不投中文杂志英文版,好不容易憋了篇英文,还投到低水平的杂志,很不甘心; 最重要的是国内杂志要钱,而国外很多不要.自从国内某杂志告诉我他们之所以收我很高的版面费是为了他们的生存时,我发誓包括以后我的学生就不再投中文杂志了（如果要投,对做材料的人,个人认为金属学报不错,目前收费低）； 4.坚持就是胜利,按照审稿人的建议好好改你的论文,只要坚持投稿,就一定能够被接收的,如果论文被某杂志拒稿,但不提倡降低杂志质量再投（应该根据审稿人意见修改后找合适的杂志）;有人认为低影响因子的杂志一定中的几率高,我也这么认为,但一般低影响因子的杂志论文出稿比较慢! 再加两封催稿信!英语不好,但意思表达到了. 第一封,客气点! Dear Prof.Dr.Editor *** I submitted our latest work to your journal *** last November.I want to know the review process.If there are some reponses from the reviewers.Would you please tell me the results so that I can deal with it as early as possible?Please understand me that fast publication of our work is important for me. I appreciate your contribution to the publication of the high quality papers. Kind thanks to you for your care. Best Regards Yours sincerely 第二封,很不客气了,他们刚开始说他们的审稿周期很短,但近四个月了,也没消息,所以打算投别的地方. Dear Dr.Prof.*** I am sorry to make you in trouble.It takes too long for reviewing my manuscript (***) which was submitted to Journal "***".Generally,only about two months are necessary for the reviewing process on my usual submissions to other Journals.Hence,I decide to withdraw this submission. I am sorry to make this decision.Please understand my condition because the rapid publication of my work is important for me and our group. I hope that I have chance to get a rapid publication in this Journal in future. Thank you for your attention and kind help. Best Regards Yours sincerely
