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。3 d3 f0 Q- V: ?. d
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。 3 z0 f) w" | mDear Dr.: : b) P; }9 Y& |Enclosed are three copies of a manuscript by Rose N .Dipaola,Donna A.Gallo,and Tom N.Roberts titled“Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Long-Term Transfusion Patients”.It is submitted to be considered for publication as a“Original Article" in your journal.This paper is~•Neither the entire paper nor any part of its content has been published or has been accepted elsewhere .It is not being submitted to any other journal. $ P% V2 O7 P: ]0 X7 M3 RWe believe the paper may be of particular interest to the readers of your journal because the study it reports stated the HCV infection rate among long-term transfusion patients is higher than that of the general population and of short-term transfusion patients.4 ]* K.
