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。
介绍信 是用来介绍联系接洽事宜的一种应用文体，下面我为大家带来一些sci投稿介绍信模板，望大家采纳。

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（）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 this paper, I/we report on _______.

sci论文投稿格式没有统一的，要看你所投期刊的要求，一般期刊都会提供有论文格式模板让你参考，你必须按照这个格式来弄。每个期刊对自己文章格式要求都是不一样的，如果期刊没有提供格式，可以自己先找一个通用格式模板来弄，等录用了，再按照期刊录用上面说明的格式来弄，你百度下：普刊学术中心，上面很多论文格式模板说明讲解。当然除了发SCI，也可以发EI会议论文，录用难度不大，只是部分学校不认可，你百度下：EI学术会议中心，有相关知识文章可以看下
论文写作模板在万维书刊网上有不少，该站上每一个刊物的简介下面都有一个论文模板按钮，您点击后会进入到该站的投稿交流版块，上面有上百个各个期刊的模板，您可以去参考一下！
1、正确选择对口的SCI期刊，可以自行选择期刊。原则上是先投递高影响因子的杂志，然后不断降低级别。
2、不能进行一稿两投，这是严格禁止的。
3、正确选择必须推荐的审稿人：除杂志有要求，或你研究的领域非常狭窄外，不推荐编辑。如果必须选择推荐的审稿人，应尽量选择同行中的专家。
4、催稿应根据这个杂志通常审稿周期来定。具体审稿周期，可以参考投稿系统。
5、提高一次投稿的成功率：文章本身的创新性是第一位因素，对口期刊选择、文章格式完美、语句通顺（符合英文习惯）等也很重要。
6、版权协议和利益冲突表格要谨慎填写。签名时尽量不要代签，以免被编辑发现时的尴尬。
7、尽可能参照投稿说明，认真修改手稿格式。这一点是衡量一位科研工作者的严谨程度，建议大家认真阅读《提交简介》，逐条地改正，以防延误同行评审时间。
8、修改后投稿一定要核对初稿中改正的地方：标题、摘要、简历等。
面对审稿人的批评该如何回应能一次性不经过修改就直接发表的sci论文是微乎其微的，大多都要经过修改，这样才有可能顺利发表，至少要比直接拒稿好的多。那么，当遇到审稿人的批评修改意见事，该如何回应，如何巧妙的据理力争得到编委会的加分，也该特别注意的事项，避免不适宜的回应，导致文章最终被拒稿，以下的来自科学网上的文章，很实用，希望可以帮到你。首先，回应审稿人的批评，最重要的是要体现诚意，要让编委和审稿人觉得你认真对待他们的意见。除非学术编委十分喜欢你的论文，一心要接受其发表，否则国际高水平杂志大多数都会以锱铢必较的态度认真对待审稿人的每一条批评，并要求作者作出必要修改。多数情况下，修改稿要与审稿人再见面，并作重新评审。寄希望于编委和审稿人高高举起而轻轻放下，是不切实际的，可能性不大。正是由于这一过程过于冗长甚至耗费审者和作者的过多精力，部分学者认为应予改革。美国微生物学会新开办的跨学科杂志mBio就申明，凡要求作较大修改的论文都干脆不予接受，以免作者和审者疲于应付。但这样的做法目前仍非主流，因此，向编委和审稿人体现诚意，让他们感觉到你已作出巨大努力提高论文的质量，仍是至关重要的。第二，凡是审稿人建议而应该做或可做可不做但不难做到的实验，都要补做实验，加入新数据。否则，下一轮评审可能就连修改的机会都没有了。很多作者内心太浮躁太急，结果往往适得其反。有些作者认为审稿人都已经说了不少好话，不会在乎个别细节，这样的判断往往也是错误的。修改稿不必加入新实验新数据就过关的情况，在大多数有一定水平的杂志是不会发生的。当然影响因子3以下的个别杂志可能有例外。以为国际杂志也可以仅靠磨几下嘴皮或轻描淡写几句就可以不做新的实验而蒙混过关，迟早是会碰壁的。第三，要尽量避免攻击审稿人、质疑其专业水平或对多条审稿意见提出抗辩。情绪化或质疑审稿人歧视作者，往往于事无补。多数情况下作者的回应及修改稿要跟原审稿人见面，言语上的失敬只会增加审稿人的敌意。编委要依靠审稿人义务审阅大量稿件，有时甚至是私人朋友，感情上很难不偏不倚。希望编委完全站在作者的立场上并彻底推翻审稿人的意见，常常是事与愿违。当然对于审稿人意见中明显失当或其要求完全不可能达到之处，应该心平气和地指出，并列举实际数据或文献支持。如果发现审稿人有疏忽之处，也应客气地解释，而不必意气用事地抱怨。这就是我前面讲的摆事实讲道理。选其中重要的一两点提出抗辩，但对较次要的各点则尽量满足，往往是比较策略的做法。纠缠于无伤大雅的枝节问题，对作者有害而无益。最后，要注意不要乱诉苦或试图博取同情。过分强调自己实验室条件的不足，甚至坦言发表不了论文就毕业不了，在编委那里不仅不会加分，甚至只会减分。例如审稿人要求做定量PCR，有作者表示做不了，这样很难得到编委的同情。希望编委降低要求帮急需论文的学生一把，大多数编委都会嗤之以鼻，只能是作者的一厢情愿。参考：查尔斯沃思论文润色贴士
(1)、简要介绍你的稿件；
(2)、介绍你对修改稿所作的revision；
(3)、感谢reviewers的意见，并说明已经回答了审稿人提出的问题。
to reviewer：其实就是在一个文档里，逐条地、认真地回答审稿人提出的每一个问题（important），届时上传修改稿时，也将esponse to reviewer作为独立的文档上传。
SCI文章修回的COVER LETTER模板如下：Dear you very much for your letter and advice. We have revised the paper, and would like to re-submit it for your consideration. We have addressed the comments raised by the reviewers, and the amendments are highlighted in red in the revised manuscript. We hope that the revision is acceptable, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

注意：
1、 对于审稿人的建议一定要礼貌地回答；
2、不要利用不同审稿人之间的不同意见相互辩驳；
3、回答不利的意见，一定要有分度，不能有较真和抵触的想法；
4、无论如何都需要对编辑和审稿人致谢。
