发表SCI论文是复杂而艰辛的过程，而投稿是这个过程中最需要耐心的阶段。除了要受得住反复修改论文的折磨，经得起不断被拒稿的打击，还要学会收敛情绪，跟杂志编辑友好交流。邮件写信，是作者与编辑最主要的沟通方式。英文信件的书写遵循一定的规范，给学术编辑回信的语言和风格也都有迹可循，因此我们总结出一套模板，可以让科研新手节约时间，同时避免错误用语和规范导致编辑印象变差。

#01 Cover letter 几乎所有杂志都会要求投稿时附上一封cover letter，与稿件、图表等一并上传到投稿系统。主要作用是对稿件的简要介绍，因此关键信息包括：文章标题、研究内容概括、文章创新性、作者声明、通讯信息等。 ★ 模板 Dear Editors: We would like to submit the enclosed manuscript entitled “Paper Title”, which we wish to be considered for publication in Journal Name（通常是斜体）. We have determined that.../Our results suggest.../We found that.../ We illustrate...(简要概括你的研究内容及结果，可参考摘要，但尽量简洁。) Given that（context that prompted your research）, we believe that the findings presented in our paper will appeal to the （Reader Profile）who subscribe to Journal Name（单独一段阐述该研究的创新之处，对于该领域的重要性，为什么读者会对本研究感兴趣。） No conflict of interest exits in the submission of this manuscript, and manuscript is approved by all authors for publication.
