中文期刊中文投稿信如何写

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。
