180115 论文投稿时要用到的8类信件模板.docx

1、180115 论文投稿时要用到的8类信件模板论文投稿时要用到的8类信件模板作者：*英文论文投稿时，有很多情况我们都需要与编辑老师进行沟通，必须经历从投稿、催稿、根据修改意见修改后再投、致谢等多个环节，现给大家介绍论文投稿时会用到的8类信件常用模板。1. cover letter（投稿信）SCI论文投稿时为了提高录用率，通常都会写一份cover letter。cover letter的作用是有助于稿件被送到合适的编辑和评审人手中。如果没有cover letter，稿件可能会给编辑造成一些困扰：这篇稿件是投给哪种期刊的？何种栏目？是新稿还是修改稿？如果是修改稿的话，是哪位编辑负责的？如果这篇稿件有

2、多位作者的话，哪一位是通讯作者？通讯作者的联系地址是什么？因此，为了减少给编辑造成的困扰，一份合格的cover letter非常重要。cover letter的内容必须能够激励编辑继续去读你的文章全文。因此，你工作中的重要内容（例如创新性和在研究领域的意义）需要在cover letter中呈现出来。一般情况下，cover letter的长度在5段以内。太短不足以充分表达文章所做工作的重点内容，太长会让编辑感觉作者心虚。一份cover letter通常包括的内容是：1.向编辑简要介绍一下论文的内容和参与此项研究工作的作者名单。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。2.重点解释为

3、什么该研究是创新性的，并且大家会对此感兴趣。这里，你可以介绍论文中用到哪些创新性的技术，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。如果你投的是临床国际期刊，你还要介绍这项工作会对将来的实际治疗应用有什么意义。此处有2点需要你重点注意：写作时包含要点但不用仔细解释；尽量让编辑看到你的工作和所投期刊非常相关；最好，你的工作也刚好验证了别的研究团队在这个期刊前期发表的成果，或者与他们结果相反。3.介绍你和你的研究团队：主要研究人员、实验室的研究方向和这篇文章的关系。解释为什么要选择投这个期刊。如果其他实验室与你的研究团队合作完成此项工作，你最好也要介绍一下相关合作团队。4.声明你的文

4、章没有任何利益方面的冲突。因为每个期刊有不同的相关规定，所以查询一下各个期刊在利益冲突政策方面的描述。同时，一定要声明这项研究没有在其他期刊投稿和发表过。上面是写在cover letter中的要点，下面说一下有哪些内容不能写在cover letter中：1.不要在没有任何证明或引用情况下提及过去的发表文献。2.不要提供与投稿无关的个人信息。3.除非和这次的研究问题有关，否则不要提到您或者其他共同作者先前的发表记录。4.不要复制粘贴上摘要的内容。5.不要使用复杂发散的句构以免造成不必要的困惑。下面我举3个成功的cover letter样式给大家参考：例子1：投稿欧洲心血管病杂志Dear edit
