一封Cover letter写作要点需要下述内容:论文题目、研究发现概要、投稿动机、原创与作者同意书、推荐审稿人、与期刊编辑有过的互动等。
Cover letter 是写给杂志编辑的投稿信,一封成功的Cover letter,能够快速吸引期刊审稿人的注意力,让他们在第一时间轻松地理解研究意图和结果,从而有更大机会让其愿意深入阅读研究成果,同时也会显著提高论文被接收的几率。
样稿:
Dear Dr. White,
亲爱的怀特先生:
We wish to submit our article “Impact of season on disease Z” to be considered for publication in the Journal of Chronic Disease Treatment as a Short Communication.
我们想要将我们的文章:疾病Z的季节影响,作为短篇交流发表在慢性病治疗杂志上。
In our previous research (Black et al., J Sci Res 2014;21:1-10) we found that treatment X was more effective than treatment Y in reducing chronic disease Z. However, we noticed that the improvement for both treatments was much greater (>10%) in winter than in the summer months. In order to explore this unexpected finding, we carried out further research, presented in this paper.
我们前期的研究发现X治疗方法在减少疾病Z发病上比Y治疗方法更有效。但是,我们发现冬季两种治疗方法比夏季的治疗效果都有提高(大于10%)。为了探索这个发现,我们进行了更一步的研究,在目前的文章中呈现研究结果。
We found that ambient temperature had no effect on reduction of disease Z with either treatment. However, detailed analysis of patient behavior revealed that patients were more likely to be absent from home in the summer months, and so more likely to miss their medication time.
我们发现气温对疾病Z的治疗没有影响。然而,更细致的分析发现,病人们在夏季更倾向于不在家,因此会忘记治疗。
After implementing a dosing strategy to minimize this effect, no significant difference between summer and winter could be detected with either treatment.
在分析剂量效果以减少误差,发现冬季和夏季的治疗差别并没有意义。
We think this article will be of interest to your readers as it demonstrates increased treatment effectiveness without increasing overall dose. It also reveals some interesting aspects of patient behavior, an area of study which has received increasing attention in the field of chronic disease treatment over the past decade.
我们认为这篇文章会让你们的读者感兴趣,研究发现了在不增加治疗剂量时的治疗有效性,病人的行为对治疗的影响等需要受到进一步关注的领域。
We suggest the following reviewers for this article:
Andrew Adams ()
Billy Bloggs ()
Caroline Carter ()
我们建议以下专家进行审稿。
I am authorized on behalf of all the authors of this article to confirm that no author has any conflict of interest to disclose, all authors have approved the version submitted for publication, the work in this article is original and has not been published previously,and the article is not under consideration by any other journal.
我代表这篇文章的作者进行声明,作者之间无利益冲突,同意发表该文章,该研究属于原创,之前没有发表,也没有投稿到其他杂志。
We thank you for your kind consideration of our article. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if any further information is required. I look forward to hearing from you.
我们感谢您对这篇文章的关注。如果有问题请及时与我联系。我期待您的回信。
1、论文题目
必须保证投信里面的文章标题和投稿系统里面的保持一致。
2、研究发现概要
用3到4句话叙述研究最重要的发现,避免使用技术或专业术语。这部分的主要目标是在既有的文献背景下构建研究发现。
3、投稿动机
向期刊编辑说明为何这个研究适合发表在该期刊上,何处与期刊目标相符,等。
4、原创与作者同意书
在投稿信的最后,必须声明论文没有在其他期刊等待发表,所有作者皆阅读过全文并同意投稿期刊。除了以上必要信息,有写期刊会要求其他信息,帮助期刊编辑审核,作者要注意期刊的相关规定。
5、推荐审稿人
大部分的期刊都会鼓励作者推荐审稿人,甚至是不希望由谁来担任审稿人,这个动作有助于编辑加速审稿流程。作者应谨慎推荐审稿人,审稿人与作者不该有任何利益冲突,能够公正评审论文,提供有价值的评论。有利益冲突的人员,便可列进不属意的审稿人名单中。
6、与期刊编辑有过的互动
如果作者在投稿前与期刊编辑有过互动,可能是社交网路或是会议,如果编辑曾经表示过对你的研究感兴趣,记得在投稿信中提及。

cover letter的写作技巧:
1、主编的姓名一定要拼写正确:首先,必须保证正确的称呼。如果能找到期刊主编的姓名,在coverletter的开头就称呼主编的姓,而不是全名。例如,可以称呼她为”Dear Dr. White” 而不是“Dear Dr. Jane White”。如果不确定主编的姓名,就可以直接称呼为“Dear Editor”或“Dear Editor-in-Chief”。
2、文章标题:必须保证投信里面的文章标题和投稿系统里面的保持一致。如果您更改了文章,也需要更改投稿信。
3、期刊名称: 必须保证把期刊名称拼写正确。如果文章之前被拒稿过,现在重新投稿,一定要记住把投稿信里面的期刊名称改掉。
4、文章类型: 标明文章类型(研究性文章, 综述还是短篇通讯等),并且确认和投稿系统里保持一致。
5、简洁:不要大段的重复文章里面的东西。
6、准确:一定不能有拼写错误,再次确认保证投稿信是100%正确。投稿信里面的数据和文章正文的数据一致。
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:
Dear Editor-in-Chief, I am sending you our manuscript entitled “Large Scale Analysis of Cell Cycle Regulators in bladder cancer” by Researcher et al. We would like to have the manuscript considered for publication in Pathobiology. Please let me know of your decision at your earliest convenience.

写好Cover letter需要做到如下几步:
1、逻辑要清晰
COVER LETTER最忌讳散乱,因此在动笔前,写下最主要的几点,用逻辑化的顺序连接起来。一般的格式是:为什么选择这份工作,这家企业,为什么你是合适人选,然后就是怎么联系。这三样东西必不可少。
2、短小精悍
COVER LETTER不宜太长,既然它是简历的一部分,那么就应该概括的介绍,而不是事无巨细。另外考虑HR每天大量的收到简历,也不宜增加HR工作,否则易产生厌烦感。
3、做足功课
招聘人员在看简历和COVER LETTER的时候,会试法感受你是只是要份工作,还是真正理解这家公司的目标和状况。他们希望招的是既有能力又忠诚的人。一份显示出仔细研究过公司网站,有关信息,能够把自己的特殊技能和公司业务联系起来的简历会与众不同。
4、个性突出
简历比较公式化,COVER LETTER就是许多招聘人员用来衡量应聘者个性的窗口。你可以让自己的用语个性化一些,但是注意不要太随便,或者过于亲昵,既有特色又不失专业面貌为佳。
5、联络信息
很多公司,尤其是那些招聘频繁的公司,COVER LETTER不一定会保存。有些应聘者把重要的联络信息都放在COVER LETTER里面,而简历则没有这些关键信息。等到简历被传到有关人士手中,可能已经没有了第一页的简历,那么别人也就无法联络到你了。
关于Cover letter的注意事项:
1、Cover letter 应当包含三个方面的内容:
Who are you and where are you?
Where did you hear about me?
What can you do for me? What can you provide relevant to the job?
2、范例
Dear Mr. / Ms. [Recruiter’s Name]
My name is [Your Name] and I am currently [a Year in School and Major / Business School Student at [School Name]] / [Working at Company Name in Division Name].
I was recently introduced to your firm via [Friend / Contact at Firm / Presentation] and was impressed with what I learned of [Your Culture / Working Environment / Bank-Specific Info.].

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。
