sci投稿全过程信件模板一览

投稿信的重要性查尔斯沃思论文润色编辑认为投稿信是非常重要的，尽管在线提交文章的系统盛行，但投稿信可以告诉杂志及其编辑为什么他们应该考虑你的文章。这是特别重要的，因为当初审编辑在筛选你的论文时，就此决定是否在同行评审环节中寻找特定的专家，所以期刊欢迎增加对你研究的简要总结。 以下是论文润色编辑对如何撰写投稿信的一些建议： 始终检查期刊的撰写人笔记 - 许多期刊都有模板或具体建议他们期望您包括什么。简要说明：尽量将您的信件保存在一页，除非有特殊原因需要添加更多详细信息。重要的是要简洁。 查尔斯沃思论文语言润色编辑告诉你投稿信一定要包括以下内容： ●您的完整联系方式●写信给具体的期刊编辑，或写“亲爱的编辑”。表明你知道编辑的名字是一个好的征兆，你提交之前评估的日记。（不要使用称呼“亲爱的先生”，特别是因为许多编辑是女性！）●在标题开头，日志范围以及您的文章为什么相关。这是至关重要的，因为它会“标记”到期刊，无论您的文章是否在期刊的宗旨和范围内。●描述你的方法和研究结果目的是让编辑知道为什么你的研究是新颖的。●简要说明主要结果和结论。●如果期刊政策允许或可以自己邀请，那么您还可以为您的论文推荐潜在审稿人的详细信息。请务必检查审稿人的详细信息是否正确和有效。●确保您的论文没有提交到另一个杂志 - 一般的“规则”是期刊不考虑正在接受其他期刊审查的论文。 来自SPIE（spie.org）的一个有用的模板在下面粘贴，可能有助于指导您遵循的主要标准： [YourName][YourAffiliation][YourAddress][Date]Dear Dr. [Editor name],I/We wish to submit a new manuscriptentitled “[title of article]” for consideration by the [journal name].I/We confirm that this work is original andhas not been published elsewhere nor is it currently under consideration forpublication elsewhere.In this paper, I/we report on _______.

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:
