over letter写作指导

Cover letter是我们带给期刊编辑的第一印象,也是我们与编辑的第一次对话,Cover letter的书写在投稿的中所占的比重真的比我们想象的要大的多。在Cover letter 中,我们往往要用最简单,最精炼的语言去告诉编辑,我们这篇论文的亮点和研究价值等等,以取得好的印象,帮助编辑浏览论文,并且成功送审。但是往往Cover letter 的书写工作也是大家最容易忽略的地方,一般可能简单地复制摘要,然后附上通讯作者联系方式,其实这样是极不可取的。

Cover letter 的写作技巧:一篇投稿信最重要的两点,是语言简洁和符合期刊标准。

所以,要想写好投稿信,我们务必要了解各个投稿期刊的要求。

打开期刊主页,找到 information for authors/instructions for author(就是对作者的要求),找到 Cover Letter,这就是该期刊对 Cover Letter 的要求了。

根据期刊要求,就可以动笔写 Cover Letter 了。一般来说,Cover Letter word 的形式提交,按照期刊要求的字体大小来写,长度建议不超过一页。

下面我们拆分 Cover Letter,详细看看一篇 Cover Letter 应该怎么写。

第一部分 开门见山

这一部分,主要是告诉编辑,我的文章标题和文章类型,并且写上我们没有一稿多投的情况。

首先,我们用斜体字写上期刊的名字,再跟编辑打个招呼。(如下图所示)

第二部分 亮点介绍

这一部分,主要是介绍文章的亮点和主要内容。

先用一句话概括文章的核心内容:This manuscript addresses XXX.

然后,简单的介绍一下文章背景和一些关键词。接下来,再说明在这方面其他人已经做了什么(可以引用参考文献),有什么研究上的空白,进而引出文章的亮点。

如果觉得投稿信篇幅过长,或者对自己的表达不够自信的话,可以直接介绍自己文章的亮点即可。在描述亮点的时候切忌浮夸,要给人家低调奢华有内涵的感觉!

第二段的写法比较多样化,只需用简洁的语言把文章的内容和亮点讲清楚即可。如果是综述类型的文章,还可以按照摘要的写法,简单描述一下自己总结了什么。

第三部分 作者信息

这一部分,写上一些客套话,再附上通讯作者的信息,收尾。(如下文所示)

Cover letter的主要内容:

简单概括文章的核心内容,主要发现,创新点以及意义,以及对稿件的处理是否有特殊的要求。此外还要附上主要作者的通讯信息,有的杂志会要求推荐审稿人。各个杂志的具体要求是不一样的,下笔之前最好在杂志的guide for authors上去找找有无相关要求。如果没有具体的,就按照通用的要求进行处理就行。

下面的话就给出一些我收藏的模板。
