1、 什么是cover letter？指的是投稿信2、cover letter的内容主要包括那些？应该简述所投稿件的核心内容、主要发现和意义，拟投期刊，对稿件处理有无特殊要求等（如“not to review” list）。另外，请附上主要作者的中文姓名、通讯地址、电话、传真和e-mail地址。此外有的杂志要求推荐几位审稿人及其联系方式。以及谁已经阅读过该文（当然是牛人）。我投的那个杂志是要求说明你论文研究的意义，以及与这个杂志的相关性，另外还有的可能要写明你没有一搞多投等。此外临床实验要求写明符合伦理学要求。3、 如何写cover letter？各个杂志的具体要求是不一样的，在杂志的guide for authors一般会有要求。如果没有具体的要求，大家可按照通用要求处理。4、常用模板：（1）Cover letterDear M ** The work described has not been submitted elsewhere for publication， in whole or in part， and all the authors listed have approved

Channels in Midbrain Dopaminergic Neurons"， which we wish to be considered for publication in Nature NGDNF has long been thought to be a potent neurotrophic factor for the survival of midbrain dopaminergic neurons， which are degenerated in Parkinson’s In this paper， we report an unexpected， acute effect of GDNF on A-type potassium channels， leading to a potentiation of neuronal excitability， in the dopaminergic neurons in culture as well as in adult brain Further， we show that GDNF regulates the K+ channels through a mechanism that involves activation of MAP Thus， this study has revealed， for the first time， an acute modulation of ion channels by GDNF Our findings challenge the classic view of GDNF as a long-term survival factor for midbrain dopaminergic neurons， and suggest that the normal function of GDNF is to regulate neuronal excitability， and consequently dopamine These results may also have implications in the treatment of Parkinson’s Due to a direct competition and conflict of interest， we request that D XXX of Harvard U， and YY of Yale U not be considered as With thanks for your consideration， I amSincerely yours，（四）Dear **We would like to

Takahiro KCopy of the Abstract:In this study， energy spectrum of the large-scale atmospheric motions is examined in the framework of the 3D normal mode The horizontal scale of disturbance is measured by the phase speed of a Rossby mode According to the analysis result for the barotropic component of the atmosphere， we obtain a characteristic energy spectrum with distinct slopes for the turbulence and wave regimes separated by the spherical Rhines In order to explain the observational finding that the energy spectrum is proportional to c^2， we put forward a hypothesis based on the criterion of Rossby wave breaking such that the local meridional gradient of potential vorticity becomes negative， dq/dy < 0， somewhere in the With a constant m describing a total mass of the atmosphere for unit area， we have shown that the barotropic energy spectrum of the general circulation E can be represented as E=mc^Corresponding Author:D Hiroshi L TanakaDivision of Geoenvironmental SciencesUniversity

论文投稿时一般要求附带一篇“Cover Letter”，好的“Cover Letter”不仅可以使文章锦上添花，更有可能直接决定论文是否被录用。本人切身体会，以已发表论文为例，现将其写法经验归纳如下：Dear Editor，We would like to submit the enclosed manuscript entitled "论文题目"， which we wish to be considered for publication in 期刊名The work described has not been submitted elsewhere for publication， in whole or in part， and all the authors listed have approved the manuscript that is We believe that two aspects of this manuscript will make it interesting to general readers of First， 论文亮点Second， 论文亮点Thank you very much for your time and Sincerely yours，作者名注意点：论文亮点一定要简洁明了，一定要有创新，突出你的文章与其它已发表论文的区别。这是 Cover Letter 的主要内容。
写作思路及要点：以英语自荐信为题，围绕自身优势展开详细描写，接着表达自己的感想收获。正文：Dear President：亲爱的社长。I am very interested in the English club after reading its With your permission， I hope I can join the big 我看了社团的宣传广告后对英文社团非常该兴趣。如果您允许的话，希望我能加入这个大家庭。I am good at surprise English drama performance， and I will be a very useful member of the I hope I can show myself and practice I can also make a lot of friends in this 我擅长惊喜英语戏剧表演，我会成为社团里非常有用的一名成员。我希望能展示自己并且锻炼自己。我还能以这种方式交到很多朋友。I hope you can give me this Thank Looking forward to your reply!希望您能给我这个机会，谢谢。期待您的回信！
