cover letter是我们在投稿时，连同手稿一起发送给编辑人员的一封投稿信。用最简洁的语言介绍文章，给编辑人员留下一个好的印象，是至关重要的。而且一般sci期刊也都会要求有投稿信，并对cover letter也有具体的要求。下面就为大家介绍一下cover letter投稿信的写法。
具体对cover letter的要求，大家可以从期刊主页的information for authors/instructions for author中找到。一般cover letter的内容是包括论文题目，拟投期刊称，论文主要内容和亮点，无一稿多投声明，以及通讯作者信息等，可参考如上图。根据要求来看，通常是写3-4个自然段，字数控制在一页以内。
信件的开头，用斜体字写上期刊的名字，再跟编辑打个招呼。下一段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，再简单的介绍一下文章背景和一些关键词。然后说明在这方面其他人已经做了什么，可以引用参考文献，并有什么研究上的空白，进而引出文章的亮点。
再就是写上一些客套话，再附上通讯作者的信息，如姓名、学位、地址和机构、电话、电子邮件等，来进行收尾。记得加上Sincerely yours ，以表敬意。最后再来一个署名。一篇完整的 Cover Letter 就完成了。
