科研SCI論文實驗寫作至發(fā)表完全攻略（十三）

D. 投稿：論文的最后一稿準備好后，就可向國外投稿。一般來說，投稿程序分以下三步。

(1)準備投稿信(covering letter，submission letter)：生物醫(yī)學期刊的編輯往往需要一些有關(guān)作者及其論文的信息，而作者也希望給編輯提供一些有助于其全文送審及決策的信息。這些信息都應該包括在投稿信中。投稿信應包括以下幾方面的內(nèi)容：文題和所有作者的姓名；稿件適宜的欄目；為什么此論文適合于在該刊而不是其它刊物上發(fā)表?關(guān)于重復或部分發(fā)表或已投它刊的說明；不能轉(zhuǎn)讓版權(quán)的說明(如美國聯(lián)邦政府雇員)；建議審稿人及因存在競爭關(guān)系而不宜做審稿人的名單；通信作者(corresponding author)的姓名、詳細地址、電話和傳真號碼、e-mail地址；能否付出版費(版面費、彩圖費)的說明(如果該刊收取版面費和彩圖費)；希望核校校樣或稿件若不接收退回原稿的要求(有的期刊在“投稿須知”中約定，除非作者在投稿信中提出要求，否則原稿不退還給作者)。投稿信舉例：
