对国外杂志投稿的时候,一般都是使用email投递,除了正文文章作为附件发送以外,还需要写一封信,叫cover letter,一封好的cover letter可以起到很好的作用,就好比你求职的时候的自荐信,要吸引住编辑的眼球,你就成功一半了。国外杂志编辑的权利很大,基本决定你的生死。" e- q. M1 `$ i/ D9 R, G9 I: f" S
cover letter的内容主要需要想编辑详细的介绍你的文章的主要内容,突出文章的创新性,价值,还有你为什么要发表这篇文章,还可以简要指出目前该领域的发展方向,最好你的文章就是朝向这个方向的。其他就是常规要求了,用语恰当,格式规范等。- b& \7 W8 o* S& [# e( [ k
