《××××》编辑部：
你们好!
贵刊是国内学术界有影响的经济理论刊物，我一直比较关注。
近来，“知识经济’’问题已成为学术界、经济理论界探讨的热点。贵刊在全国同类刊物中最早推出专栏，研讨这一专题，把热点问题的探讨引入较高的理论层次，功不可没。专栏所载的诸篇大作，我都仔细拜读过，受益颇多。
我也是从事经济研究工作的，平时对“知识经济”这一专题也略有涉猎，通过社会考察实践也积累了一些资料。现根据自已的粗浅认识，写了《“知识经济”初探》一文，寄给你们。不顾汗颜，也想参与专栏讨论，以求抛砖引玉。不知是否够格入选?
拙文奉上，望诸位行家斧正，对此先致以诚挚的感谢。无论如何，还望你们拨冗及时回示，并请提出宝贵意见。
顺致
编安!

Cover letter中文叫做投稿信，是在投稿的时候写给编辑的信，作用跟古时候拜访人家用的拜帖有点相似。如果把期刊编辑形容成住在高墙大院里的名门望族，那投稿人就是希望给伯乐相中的无名小辈，这么说来拜帖一定要精致醒目有特色。不过如果作者已经是业内大牛了，估计投稿信是可以随意一些的。
虽说文章能不能发表靠的还是科研价值本身，但是投稿信也是很重 要的。在现在发表的文章越来越多，权威期刊不缺稿源的情况下，责任编辑做的是择优录用，先淘汰掉一部分感觉上价值不大的稿件。如果投稿信没有含什么有用的信息，文章一眼看上去又没有太多吸引力，一些责任编辑就会很快做出拒稿决定。当然用的是非常委婉的说法，拒稿信用的也是统一模板。比如：
但是实际上，这篇第二天就被责任编辑拒稿的文章其实符合期刊发表的研究方向，因为有几篇相关的文章就是发表在该期刊上。不过被拒了也就拒了，再去辩解也毫无意义。不过好奇之下，还是去google了一下责任编辑的背景，主要是做光学的，跟文章所属的电磁方向虽然是一大类，但还是有所区别。再回头看那个投稿信，用的就是以前的模板，只是用两句话简要介绍了一下文章的主要结果。模板如下：
虽然投稿信也用两句话说明了一下文章结果的价值，但是在这种责任编辑只是大同行的情况下， 如果这两句话不能打动他，那么他就不一定能够认同文章的价值，就会直接作出拒稿的决定。
所以在重新投其他的期刊的时候，就意识到原先投稿信的分量还不够，还要加上一段文字说明为啥文章适合发表在该期刊上。上个月就有一个影响因子还不错的期刊的编辑给大家发了一个邮件，明确说明了，要是在投稿信里面没有加上这些文字，文章会被直接拒稿。
最能反映适合程度的当然是列出自己已经在该期刊上发表的文章，然后说明这两篇文章是有相关性的。如果没有过往记录呢，找出几篇该期刊最近2,3年发表的，被引用次数还不错的文章列举上去也是很有用的。5年前甚至10年前的就不要列了，因为现在期刊的scope都在不断地调整中，以前的热门方向，也许现在期刊已经看不上了。投稿信加上了这部分之后，重投了另外一个影响因子相当的期刊，文章很快被送审，很快给录用了。虽然不一定是投稿信带来的差异，但是还是愿意在心里认为投稿信也是要用心去写的。
不过也要记住，投稿信不要写得太长，最好在一页内把重要的东西说清楚。写得太长，编辑也会没有耐心看的。
有些人建议在投稿信中把推荐的审稿人也加上。这个视情况而定，如果期刊投稿的时候本身就要求填写几个推荐的审稿人，那么就不用占用投稿信的空间了。但是如果投稿系统没有这一项的话，那在投稿信加上会更好一些。提供的信息可以是审稿人的头衔、姓名、地址和电子邮件。记得多次确认一下，电子邮件是人家有效的而且是常用的。最後,若还是不放心, 可以请专业的论文润色公司如英论阁 提供协助
毕业论文的标准格式是什么？

是文章主要内容的摘录，要求短、精、完整。字数少可几十字，多不超过三百字为宜。
4、关键词或主题词
关键词是从论文的题名、提要和正文中选取出来的，是对表述论文的中心内容有实质意义的词汇。关键词是用作计算机系统标引论文内容特征的词语，便于信息系统汇集，以供读者检索。每篇论文一般选取3-8个词汇作为关键词，另起一行，排在"提要"的左下方。
主题词是经过规范化的词，在确定主题词时，要对论文进行主题分析，依照标引和组配规则转换成主题词表中的规范词语。（参见《汉语主题词表》和《世界汉语主题词表》）。
5、论文正文：
（1）引言：引言又称前言、序言和导言，用在论文的开头。引言一般要概括地写出作者意图，说明选题的目的和意义,并指出论文写作的范围。引言要短小精悍、紧扣主题。
〈2）论文正文：正文是论文的主体，正文应包括论点、论据、论证过程和结论。主体部分包括以下内容：
a.提出问题-论点；
b.分析问题-论据和论证；
c.解决问题-论证方法与步骤；
d.结论。
6、参考文献
一篇论文的参考文献是将论文在研究和写作中可参考或引证的主要文献资料，列于论文的末尾。参考文献应另起一页，标注方式按《GB7714-87文后参考文献著录规则》进行。
中文：标题--作者--出版物信息（版地、版者、版期）
英文：作者--标题--出版物信息
所列参考文献的要求是：
（1）所列参考文献应是正式出版物，以便读者考证。

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:
