写coverletter，可以分大致三四个段落。第一段，大意就是表明想把什么稿件投到哪个期刊。这里要注意几个小问题。第一，还是信件开头的称呼。如果期刊有公开编辑的信息，可以考虑选择直接致信其中某位编辑，比如“DearDr.XX”。如果找不到这方面的信息，写“Towhomitmayconcern”也是可以的。因为在投稿的阶段，作者一般确实无法预知稿件会到哪一位编辑的手里（当然，一旦编辑回复作者，接下来的交流就无疑不要再用DearEditor或者Towhoitmayconcern之类的模糊语了，直接称呼该位编辑DearDr.XX即可）。第二，要写明自己所投稿件的标题，最好注上最基本的信息，包括总字数，总图（figure）数和总表（Table）数。第三，要写明所投期刊的全名，比如JournalofNeuroscience，而不是笼统地说“贵刊”。第二段的任务是大致介绍所投稿件的重要信息。请注意，这个介绍和摘要（abstract）有所不同，不要把文章摘要原封不动地照抄一边。介绍的目的不仅是让期刊编辑对论文稿件的基本内容有所了解，也有一些向编辑“推销”（sell）稿件的意味。在实事求是的基础上，可以用一些比较抓人眼球的用词，以特别强调文章的独特之处，以及其为什么特别值得在该期刊上发表。同时，应该考虑到期刊编辑虽然一般都具有博士学历，但很可能专业和论文的领域并不一致。所以，在介绍的时候，要尽量用通俗易懂的方式介绍一些相关基本概念。而不是在很紧张的写作中，下意识以为无论自己写下什么专业术语，期刊编辑都一定能立刻心领神会。第三段，按照许多期刊的规定，需要做一些必要的声明。比如，确认本文没有同时投给其它期刊，作者之间是否存在利益冲突（conflictofinterest），确认所有实验遵从道德要求（ethicalrequirements）等等。最后，要记得留下联系作者（correspondingauthor）的联系方式（邮件，电话）。虽然在电子投稿（electronicsubmission）中，这些信息有专门提交，但是在coverletter里强调一遍总是好的。联系作者的联系方式万一出错，会导致期刊编辑的信件不能及时被收到、延误时机而造成遗憾。英文论文Coverletter模板英文论文投稿信Coverletter模板Case1DearEditor,WewouldliketosubmittheenclosedmanuscriptentitledGDNFAcutelyModulatesNeuronalExcitabilityandA-typePotassiumChannelsinMidbrainDopaminergicNeurons,whichwewishtobeconsideredforpublicationinNatureNeuroscience.GDNFhaslongbeenthoughttobeapotentneurotrophicfactorforthesurvivalofmidbraindopaminergicneurons,whicharedegeneratedinParkinson’sdisease.Inthispaper,wereportanunexpected,acuteeffectofGDNFonA-typepotassiumchannels,leadingtoapotentiationofneuronalexcitability,inthedopaminergicneuronsincultureaswellasinadultbrainslices.Further,weshowthatGDNFregulatestheK+channelsthroughamechanismthatinvolvesactivationofMAPkinase.Thus,thisstudyhasrevealed,forthefirsttime,anacutemodulationofionchannelsbyGDNF.OurfindingschallengetheclassicviewofGDNFasalong-termsurvivalfactorformidbraindopaminergicneurons,andsuggestthatthenormalfunctionofGDNFistoregulateneuronalexcitability,andconsequentlydopaminerelease.TheseresultsmayalsohaveimplicationsinthetreatmentofParkinson’sdisease.Duetoadirectcompetitionandconflictofinterest,werequestthatDrs.XXXofHarvardUniv.,andYYofYaleUniv.notbeconsideredasreviewers.Withthanksforyourconsideration,IamSincerelyyours,case2DearEditor,WewouldliketosubmittheenclosedmanuscriptentitledCa2+-bindingproteinfrequeninmediatesGDNF-inducedpotentiationofCa2+channelsandtransmitterrelease,whichwewishtobeconsideredforpublicationinNeuron.WebelievethattwoaspectsofthismanuscriptwillmakeitinterestingtogeneralreadersofNeuron.First,wereportthatGDNFhasalong-termregulatoryeffectonneurotransmitterreleaseattheneuromuscularsynapses.Thisprovidesthefirstphysiologicalevidenceforaroleofthisnewfamilyofneurotrophicfactorsinfunctionalsynaptictransmission.Second,weshowthattheGDNFeffectismediatedbyenhancingtheexpressionoftheCa2+-bindingproteinfrequenin.Further,GDNFandfrequeninfacilitatesynaptictransmissionbyenhancingCa2+channelactivity,leadingtoanenhancementofCa2+influx.Thus,thisstudyhasidentified,forthefirsttime,amoleculartargetthatmediatesthelong-term,synapticactionofaneurotrophicfactor.Ourfindingsmayalsohavegeneralimplicationsinthecellbiologyofneurotransmitterrelease.[0630][投稿写作]某杂志给出的标准SampleCoverLetter[theexampleusedistheIJEB]Case3SampleCoverLetter[theexampleusedistheIJEB]DearEditorofthe[pleasetypeinjournaltitleoracronym]:Enclosedisapaper,entitledMobileAgentsforNetworkManagement.Pleaseacceptitasacandidateforpublicationinthe[journaltitle].Belowareourresponsestoyoursubmissionrequirements.1.Titleandthecentralthemeofthearticle.Papertitle:MobileAgentsforNetworkManagement.Thisstudyreviewstheconceptsofmobileagentsanddistributednetworkmanagementsystem.Itproposesamobileagent-basedimplementationframeworkandcreatesaprototypesystemtodemonstratethesuperiorperformanceofamobileagent-basednetworkovertheconventionalclient-serverarchitectureinalargenetworkenvironment.2.Whichsubject/themeoftheJournalthematerialfitsNewenablingtechnologies(ifnomatchingsubject/theme,enter'Subjecthighlyrelatedto[subjectofjournal]butnotlistedby[pleasetypeinjournaltitleoracronym])3.Whythematerialisimportantinitsfieldandwhythematerialshouldbepublishedin[pleasetypeinjournaltitleoracronym]?Thenecessityofhavinganeffectivecomputernetworkisrapidlygrowingalongsidetheimplementationofinformationtechnology.Findinganappropriatenetworkmanagementsystemhasbecomeincreasinglyimportanttoday'sdistributedenvironment.However,theconventionalcentralizedarchitecture,whichroutinelyrequeststhestatusinformationoflocalunitsbythecentralserver,isnotsufficienttomanagethegrowingrequests.Recently,anewframeworkthatusesmobileagenttechnologytoassistthedistributedmanagementhasemerged.Themobileagentreducesnetworktraffic,distributesmanagementtasks,andimprovesoperationalperformance.Giventoday'sbandwidthdemandovertheInternet,itisimportantforthe[journaltitle/acronym]readerstounderstandthistechnologyanditsbenefits.Thisstudygivesareal-lifeexampleofhowtousemobileagentsfordistributednetworkmanagement.Itisthefirstintheliteraturethatreportstheanalysisofnetworkperformancebasedonanoperationalprototypeofmobileagent-baseddistributednetwork.Westronglybelievethecontrib
