Abstract

A cover (covering) letter is a brief business letter introducing the scientific work alongside the submission process of a manuscript and is required by most scientific peer-review journals. A typical cover letter includes the name of the editor and the journal, date of submission, the characteristics of the manuscript, the importance of the work and its relevance to prospective audiences, declarations such as author agreements, conflicts of interest statement, funding source (s), and ethical statements. The letter also includes the contact information of the corresponding author (s) and may also include suggestions of potential reviewers. Spending enough time to draft an informative, comprehensive, and concise cover letter is quite worthwhile; a poorly drafted one would not persuade the editor that the submitted work is fit for publication and may lead to immediate rejection. Here, we provide a practical guide to draft a well-written, concise, and professional cover letter for a scientific medical paper.

生物医学科学出版:如何写求职信?
cover letter(封面信)是一封简短的商业信函,介绍科学工作和手稿的提交过程,大多数科学同行评审期刊都要求。一封典型的求职信包括编辑和期刊的名称、提交日期、手稿的特征、工作的重要性及其对潜在读者的相关性、声明(如作者协议)、利益冲突声明、资金来源和道德声明。信中还包括通讯作者的联系方式,也可能包括潜在审稿人的建议。花足够的时间起草一份内容丰富、全面、简洁的求职信是非常值得的;一份草稿很差的稿子无法说服编辑认为提交的作品适合发表,而且可能会导致立即被拒稿。在这里,我们提供了一个实用的指南,为一篇科学医学论文起草一份写得好、简洁、专业的求职信。
