Cover letter指的是投稿信，其內容應該簡述所投稿件的核心內容、主要發現和意義，擬投期刊，對稿件處理有無特殊要求等（如「not to review」）。另外，請附上主要作者的中文姓名、通訊地址、電話、傳真和e-mail地址。此外有的雜誌要求推薦幾位審稿人及其聯繫方式。以及誰已經閱讀過該文（當然是牛人）。有些雜誌要求說明論文研究的意義，以及與這個雜誌的相關性，還有的可能要寫明有沒有一稿多投等。此外，臨床實驗要求寫明符合倫理學要求。 那麼，應該如何寫cover letter？各個雜誌的具體要求是不一樣的。在雜誌的guide for authors一般會有要求。如果沒有具體的要求，大家可按照通用要求處理。
