期刊论文投稿决定信

Cover Letter 既投稿信，对于科研论文新手来说，不知该如何下手，而对于论文老司机来说，重视程度普遍比较低。查尔斯沃思 论文润色 在往期的文章中多次介绍过投稿信的重要性（参见《投稿信的重要性》），投稿信可以告诉杂志及其编辑为什么他们应该考虑你的文章。这是特别重要的，因为当初审编辑在筛选你的论文时，就此决定是否在同行评审环节中寻找特定的专家，所以期刊欢迎增加对你研究的简要总结。 不同的期刊对投稿信的要求各不相同，例如有的杂志会要求推荐几位审稿人。一般会在杂志的作者指南（guide for authors）中看到具体的要求。许多作者并没有注意到投稿信的重要性，即便它的重要性已经成为常识问题。有些作者甚至对此有一些误解。 投稿信应包含哪些内容？这一问题在《投稿信的重要性》中已经有给出了详细的说明，在此再次强调一下，除了一些基本信息外，最主要的是把该篇论文的研究重点及学术贡献、创意简洁的强调下。 我们也为大家准备了一个通用模板，供作者参考，该模板来自SPIE： [Your Name] [Your Affiliation] [Your Address] [Date] Dear Dr. [Editor name], I/We wish to submit a new manuscript entitled “[title of article]” for consideration by the [journal name].

1 投稿信要简单介绍你的工作的创新性,这样便于论文的快速发表,当然也应该客气几句,让编辑感到心里舒服,主要是夸杂志好之类的话; 有人写coverletter,就是写上题目、然后说很荣幸投稿之类地话,也有人干脆把摘要全写上,这样个人认为不好,一定用两到三句话说明你论文“新”在哪,这个非常重要. 2.论坛上很多人说不能写信催编辑,个人认为没关系,必要催信能够让人重视你的论文,一定要让人感到,你的论文在这发不了,好多地方在等着发呢(但很多牛杂志,可不吃这套哟,人家不缺稿,嘿嘿).当然写信的时候要客气,说一些快速发表对于学术讨论和促进工作等方面的重要性之类的话; 3.能写英文,就不投中文稿,特别是不投中文杂志英文版,好不容易憋了篇英文,还投到低水平的杂志,很不甘心; 最重要的是国内杂志要钱,而国外很多不要.自从国内某杂志告诉我他们之所以收我很高的版面费是为了他们的生存时,我发誓包括以后我的学生就不再投中文杂志了（如果要投,对做材料的人,个人认为金属学报不错,目前收费低）； 4.坚持就是胜利,按照审稿人的建议好好改你的论文,只要坚持投稿,就一定能够被接收的,如果论文被某杂志拒稿,但不提倡降低杂志质量再投（应该根据审稿人意见修改后找合适的杂志）;有人认为低影响因子的杂志一定中的几率高,我也这么认为,但一般低影响因子的杂志论文出稿比较慢! 再加两封催稿信!英语不好,但意思表达到了. 第一封,客气点! Dear Prof.Dr.Editor *** I submitted our latest work to your journal *** last November.I want to know the review process.If there are some reponses from the reviewers.Would you please tell me the results so that I can deal with it as early as possible?Please understand me that fast publication of our work is important for me. I appreciate your contribution to the publication of the high quality papers. Kind thanks to you for your care. Best Regards Yours sincerely 第二封,很不客气了,他们刚开始说他们的审稿周期很短,但近四个月了,也没消息,所以打算投别的地方. Dear Dr.Prof.*** I am sorry to make you in trouble.It takes too long for reviewing my manuscript (***) which was submitted to Journal "***".Generally,only about two months are necessary for the reviewing process on my usual submissions to other Journals.Hence,I decide to withdraw this submission.

I hope that I have chance to get a rapid publication in this Journal in future. Thank you for your attention and kind help. Best Regards Yours sincerely
