论文投稿给编辑的模板

投稿信的写作格式

投稿信的写作格式与一般书信相同，只是内容侧重点不同，所写事项更明确、更单一。

（1)第一行顶格写对方的称呼，如“《××× ×》杂志编辑部＂、“编辑同志”、或“×× ×编辑同志＂。

（2)开头。另起一行，空两格写问候语，如“你好”、“您好＂或“你们好＂。

（3)正文。正文的内容应根据具体情况来写，主要是介绍自己稿件的有关情况。一般应反映出以下几方面内容：

①表示对对方刊物、栏目的关注之情，并作出诚挚、中肯的评价，切忌措辞唐突或过分溢美之词。

②如实介绍自己的有关情况。

③写明投稿的缘由和稿件的有关情况。

④希望对方对稿件提出宝贵意见。

⑤希望对方采用稿件，并适当表达谢意。

⑥希望对方及时复信，表明是否采用稿件的明确态度。

（4)结尾。另起一行，写祝敬语，如“顺问编安＂之类。

（5)署名和日期。

例如：

《××××》编辑部诸同志：

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！

写投稿信应注意事项

（1)语言要简明扼要，把有关事项交待清楚即可。

（2)对对方刊物或栏目要评价中肯、适当，不可过分赞美讨好。

（3)语气要谦逊适度，既不可以势凌人、强行登载，也不可低声下气地乞求。

（4)行文中对自己的稿件要充满自信。表达意愿时，要态度诚恳，措辞得体。

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:

Cover Letter 既投稿信，对于科研论文新手来说，不知该如何下手，而对于论文老司机来说，重视程度普遍比较低。查尔斯沃思 论文润色 在往期的文章中多次介绍过投稿信的重要性（参见《投稿信的重要性》），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。 不同的期刊对投稿信的要求各不相同，例如有的杂志会要求推荐几位审稿人。一般会在杂志的作者指南（guide for authors）中看到具体的要求。许多作者并没有注意到投稿信的重要性，即便它的重要性已经成为常识问题。有些作者甚至对此有一些误解。 投稿信应包含哪些内容？这一问题在《投稿信的重要性》中已经有给出了详细的说明，在此再次强调一下，除了一些基本信息外，最主要的是把该篇论文的研究重点及学术贡献、创意简洁的强调下。 我们也为大家准备了一个通用模板，供作者参考，该模板来自SPIE： [Your Name] [Your Affiliation] [Your Address] [Date] Dear Dr. [Editor name], I/We wish to submit a new manuscript entitled “[title of article]” for consideration by the [journal name].
