分享两篇SCI发表的经历(coverletter、responseletter)(最新整理)_1

1、分享两篇 sci 发表的经历三年前对于我来说 sci 就是天书一样，在我踏进博士的门槛后我以为自己进入了地狱，也纠结也彷徨，整天刷虫友们对于博士、sci 的帖子，我选择了虫友们鼓励的那一部分来激励自己继续前行。我告诉自己坚持就是胜利，当然那是积极的坚持。在好几月之前就有这个想法，今天早上收到第二篇的接收通知后，我便想今天一定要在小木虫上谢谢那些给予我帮助的虫友们。 话不多说，我把自己这两篇投稿的经历与大家共享，希望能给大家带来一点点用处。第一篇发表在 fitoterapia cover letterdear editor verotta:we would like to submit the

13、个月左右便有消息，小修后提交，第二天便接收了！那是因为这篇文章是历经磨难后的，之前投了和，其中第一个期刊当天就给我回复了，那肯定是悲剧的！编辑所谓的与该期刊不符，但我认为主要是因为文章写的太垃圾，那是我第一次写而且是没有任何人指点的情况下，可想而知会有多烂。随后这篇文章放了将近一年，填补了写数据，又投了第二个期刊，编辑委婉的拒了但给我修改重投的机会。我按照审稿人的意见和建议修改了几个月后重投（补数据，重新整结构框架，仅次于重写），结果悲剧了。而且不是因为修改的问题，而是说我的文章档次太低，不足以在上发表，我当时晕倒怎么不早说，害我这么长时间的重修。不过现在想想若不是重修在下次的投稿中又怎能如此

14、顺利呢？所以说所有的努力都不是白费的！第二篇投了 journal of ethnopharmacology，相比第一篇这个稍有磨难。也是差不多两个月的样子收到修改意见，修改后提交一直不见动静，等两个月左右的时候我有点不住了，编发了一封催稿信，之前看论坛里说忌讳催稿，但也看期刊吧，journal of ethnopharmacology 的编辑第二天便给了修改建议（还是要修改），原因是第一次修改是一个审稿人的，由于另外一个审稿人一直没给才拖到第二次。也没办法，只能再改！这次相对比较快点，每到一个月便通知接收了。journal of ethnopharmacology 与别的期刊不同，有一份 au

15、thor_checklist。不算重要但还是给大家附上附件吧（黏贴好像乱掉了），我之前也是请教的虫友。需要提醒的是初次提交和修改后要注意最后一项打勾。dear editor,we would like to submit the manuscript entitled by which we wish to be considered for publication in journal of ethnopharmacology.all authors have read and approved this version of the article, and due carehas bee
