编辑要求在COVER LETTER逐点解释修改的内容，对所有同行评议的内容都应逐点解释。逐点的意思是要回答审稿人的每个问题。而不是详细列举在文章中如何具体修改的（用红色标出来就可以了或是word的跟踪修订功能） SCI文章修回的COVER LETTER模板如下： Dear DXXXX,Thank you very much for your letter and We have revised the paper, and would like to re-submit it for your We have addressed the comments raised by the reviewers, and the amendments are highlighted in red in the revised We hope that the revision is acceptable, and I look forward to hearing from you With best wishes,Yours sincerely,XXXXXX================================================================（换页）We would like to express our sincere thanks to the reviewers for the constructive and positive Replies to Reviewer 1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXReplies to Reviewer 2XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXReplies to Reviewer 3XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
1、 什么是cover letter？指的是投稿信2、cover letter的内容主要包括那些？应该简述所投稿件的核心内容、主要发现和意义，拟投期刊，对稿件处理有无特殊要求等（如“not to review” list）。另外，请附上主要作者的中文姓名、通讯地址、电话、传真和e-mail地址。此外有的杂志要求推荐几位审稿人及其联系方式。以及谁已经阅读过该文（当然是牛人）。我投的那个杂志是要求说明你论文研究的意义，以及与这个杂志的相关性，另外还有的可能要写明你没有一搞多投等。此外临床实验要求写明符合伦理学要求。3、 如何写cover letter？各个杂志的具体要求是不一样的，在杂志的guide for authors一般会有要求。如果没有具体的要求，大家可按照通用要求处理。4、常用模板：（1）Cover letterDear M ** The work described has not been submitted elsewhere for publication, in whole or in part, and all the authors listed have approved

Channels in Midbrain Dopaminergic Neurons", which we wish to be considered for publication in Nature NGDNF has long been thought to be a potent neurotrophic factor for the survival of midbrain dopaminergic neurons, which are degenerated in Parkinson’s In this paper, we report an unexpected, acute effect of GDNF on A-type potassium channels, leading to a potentiation of neuronal excitability, in the dopaminergic neurons in culture as well as in adult brain Further, we show that GDNF regulates the K+ channels through a mechanism that involves activation of MAP Thus, this study has revealed, for the first time, an acute modulation of ion channels by GDNF Our findings challenge the classic view of GDNF as a long-term survival factor for midbrain dopaminergic neurons, and suggest that the normal function of GDNF is to regulate neuronal excitability, and consequently dopamine These results may also have implications in the treatment of Parkinson’s Due to a direct competition and conflict of interest, we request that D XXX of Harvard U, and YY of Yale U not be considered as With thanks for your consideration, I amSincerely yours,（四）Dear **We would like to

by the phase speed of a Rossby mode According to the analysis result for the barotropic component of the atmosphere, we obtain a characteristic energy spectrum with distinct slopes for the turbulence and wave regimes separated by the spherical Rhines In order to explain the observational finding that the energy spectrum is proportional to c^2, we put forward a hypothesis based on the criterion of Rossby wave breaking such that the local meridional gradient of potential vorticity becomes negative, dq/dy < 0, somewhere in the With a constant m describing a total mass of the atmosphere for unit area, we have shown that the barotropic energy spectrum of the general circulation E can be represented as E=mc^Corresponding Author:D Hiroshi L TanakaDivision of Geoenvironmental SciencesUniversity

论文投稿时一般要求附带一篇“Cover Letter”，好的“Cover Letter”不仅可以使文章锦上添花，更有可能直接决定论文是否被录用。本人切身体会，以已发表论文为例，现将其写法经验归纳如下：Dear Editor,We would like to submit the enclosed manuscript entitled "论文题目", which we wish to be considered for publication in 期刊名The work described has not been submitted elsewhere for publication, in whole or in part, and all the authors listed have approved the manuscript that is We believe that two aspects of this manuscript will make it interesting to general readers of First, 论文亮点Second, 论文亮点Thank you very much for your time and Sincerely yours,作者名注意点：论文亮点一定要简洁明了，一定要有创新，突出你的文章与其它已发表论文的区别。这是 Cover Letter 的主要内容。
sci投稿后给的文章编号代表看过coverletter。首先，如果投稿后有文章编号，自然是已经看过Cover Letter。因为当SCI期刊编辑收到稿件的时候，首先会查看的内容便是投稿信（Cover Letter）。通过投稿信中的内容，期刊编辑能最快的了解稿件的研究方向和探究结果，凭借着这些印象再去决定是否详细阅读稿件的具体内容。才会有之后的信息反馈。SIC收刊类型：1、正刊。2、特刊。特刊往往是一期具备特定主题的正刊，比如疟疾疾病在某国家的流行情况及治疗研究进展。但是由于拥有特定的主题，特刊往往在被SCI数据库收录的时候加上special issue字样。国内目前有些高校并不认可特刊，认为其跟国内的特刊一样，质量非常的低，甚至将特刊同增刊混为一谈，这是大错特错的。3、增刊。4、会议集。5、新闻。6、编语。

投稿信（Cover letter） 对于投稿信，有以下建议：• 避免事实错误或错别字，尤其是期刊名称或编辑的名字；• 阐明这项研究的目的，通过研究目的简明扼要地讨论研究的重要性、对其研究领域的影响及与相关研究的联系，在这里相关的研究包括根据相同或相关的数据集所做的研究；• 确认文章符合利益冲突的要求、ICMJE作者标准及贡献者公开标准，或符合期刊的具体规定（如与上述有所不同）；• 如果期刊有要求，推荐独立且公正的审稿人，并且（如果有要求）列出由于存在利益冲突而不应担任审稿人的个人（例如从事相近研究的个人）；• 写明之前公开全部或部分数据的所有活动，包括海报展示、会议摘要、新闻发布或营销材料，详细说明公开数据的时间和地点；• 写明就该文章同时向其它期刊投稿的任何行为（如果有）。如果有任何特殊情况，需要在投稿信中告知编辑，特殊情况包括但不限于以下：• 如果相同作者曾经发表或有意向发表与投稿相关联的文章，请详细说明这些文章；• 其它期刊编辑与审稿人对所投稿的过往评审意见。
sci投稿cover letter写法如下：1、第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）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。2、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。这一部分，写上一些客套话，再附上通讯作者的信息，收尾。（如下图所示）3、最后附上通讯作者的信息：Name，Degree，address and institution，phone，email等。有的期刊还需要提供通讯作者的传真（fax）。最后来一句Sincerely yours，以表敬意。最后再来一个署名XXX。cover letter写作要点首先，向编辑简要介绍一下论文的内容以及参与此项研究工作的作者名单。在这里不需要太详细，即使是工作中包含了一些复杂的实验部分。其次，重点解释为什么该研究是有创新性的而且会受大家感兴趣。在这里，你可以介绍有哪些创新性的技术被用到、你的实验样本数量足够多、研究成果将对这个领域有较大影响等。一些临床国际期刊还要求你介绍这项工作会对将来的实际治疗应用有什么意义。需要注意的是写作时包含要点而不用仔细解释。同时，尽量让编辑看到你的工作是和所投期刊非常相关的。最好是你的工作也刚好验证了别的研究团队在这个期刊以前发表的成果，或者与他们结果相反，而你也用很好的证明。再次，你可以介绍你和你的研究团队：主要研究人员，实验室的研究方向，以及与这篇文章的关系。同样，你可以解释为什么要选择这个期刊来投稿。如果此项工作有与其他实验室合作完成，你也可以在这里介绍相关合作团队。最后，声明你的文章没有任何利益方面的冲突（查询各期刊在利益冲突政策方面的描述，因为每个期刊有不同的相关规定）。同时，你需要表明这项研究没有发表过，而且也没同时在别的期刊投稿。
