论文cover letter怎么写

On behalf of all coauthors, I am submitting our manuscript entitled “文章标题”for your consideration for publication in Biology and Medicine.

我谨代表所有合著者，提交我们题为“文章标题”的手稿，供您考虑在生物学和医学上发表。

Although there has been a large amount of research focusing on medical image segmentation, few studies have focused specifically on the segmentation of tiny organs.

The difficulty of tiny organ segmentation is that the shape varies greatly among individuals and the boundary with surrounding tissues is not clear.

In the current study, we proposed a 方法, which successfully solves the above two difficulties. The experimental results show that our proposed 方法 outperforms the state-of-the-art deep learning method in segmenting xxx with respect to accuracy.

Another strength of our method is that it requires fewer trainable parameters and imposes a smaller demand on computational resources.

The proposed method can potentially assist clinicians in diagnosis and treatment planning by quickly inspecting abnormalities in xxx and further quantitative analysis.

虽然已经有大量的研究集中在医学图像分割上，但是很少有研究专门针对微小器官的分割。微小器官分割的难点在于个体间形状差异较大，与周围组织的边界不清晰。

在本研究中，我们提出了一种新的xxx方法，成功地解决了上述两个难题。实验结果表明，我们提出的xxx优于最先进的深度学习方法。我们方法的另一个优点是，它需要较少的可训练参数，并且对计算资源的需求较小。

该方法通过快速检测xxx形态计量学异常和进一步定量分析，有可能帮助临床医生制定诊断和治疗计划。

We believe that this article is appropriate for publication by the Biology and Medicine, it would be of great interest to a broad range of readers including radiologists, clinical researchers, computer scientists, and other researchers in related fields.

Finally, we would like to make the following declarations: All authors of this paper have read and approved the final version submitted and contents of this manuscript have not been copyrighted or published previously and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.

我们相信这篇文章适合于生物学和医学出版，它将引起包括放射科医生、临床研究人员、计算机科学家和其他相关领域研究人员在内的广大读者的极大兴趣。

最后，我们谨声明：本文的所有作者均已阅读并批准提交的最终版本，本手稿的内容此前未受版权保护或出版，也未考虑在其他地方出版。(这一段可通用)

Thank you for your consideration. I am looking forward to your assessment of our manuscript.

谢谢你的考虑。我期待着你对我们的手稿进行评估。

案例–返修后投稿怎么写

Thank you for your email of Jul 19, 2021 (论文返修时间). We appreciate the encouraging and enthusiastic comments and suggestions made by you and reviewers, on the basis of which we have revised and (we think) strengthened our paper.

In particular, we have added a detailed description of xxx, restructured the article to make it more logical and easy to understand. Moreover we added a performance comparison with the xxx algorithm, which is considered as the benchmark in the field of biomedical image segmentation.

The results show that our proposed method is superior to xxx in the subfield of xxx segmentation, and our proposed model is much easier to train and deploy.

Changes are tracked and highlighted in the revised manuscript, and all our responses to reviewers’ comments are detailed in ‘Response to Reviewers’. (通用，说明修改情况)

大家都知道期刊编辑的日常是被海量的投稿论文所淹没，而匆忙写出只包含论文题目、期刊名称、通讯作者联系方式等基本信息的英文投稿信对投稿并没有什么价值，因此如何让期刊编辑对你的文章留下深刻的第一印象非常关键！

2Cover letter包含的内容有哪些?

Cover letter通常是简单概括文章的核心内容，主要发现，创新点以及意义，以及对稿件的处理是否有特殊的要求。此外还要附上主要作者的通讯信息，有的杂志会要求推荐审稿人。

各个杂志的具体要求是不一样的，下笔之前最好在杂志的guide for authors上去找找有无相关要求。如果没有具体的，就按照通用的要求进行处理就行。

完整的Cover letter 一般包括以下内容：

A. 期刊编辑的姓名(不知道编辑是谁的情况下直接用 Dear editor);

B. 投稿文章的标题

C. 投稿文章的类型(Letter, communications, article, review 还是 comments)

D. 文章简介，包括：(1)研究背景;(2)论文的重要发现;(3)论文可以发表在期刊上的原因：引发读者兴趣的地方，与期刊的契合之处等等

E. 稿件出版道德规范的免责说明(这个部分很多期刊在网站上投稿时会进行确认，cover letter 里面可以不出现)以及对稿件有无特殊处理要求(一般指屏蔽某些竞争者成为审稿人)

F. 作者信息：一般为通讯作者姓名，所属机构，通讯地址，联系电话，邮箱等

G. 推荐审稿人名单(注：目前很多杂志社已经将这一部分挪到了投稿网站系统上，Cover letter中可以不再列出)

敲黑板!!!以下是小编为您准备的cover letter 写作模板

对于年轻的科研作者，特别是初次投稿的作者来说，可以参照以下模板来进行第一次的投稿。
