I added a new cover letter template to my collection of free stuff. Download the Cover Letter Template For Journal Submission (.doc) or check it out at Google Docs (you can download in different formats).
If you find it useful, you are welcome to purchase Cover Letter Template For Journal Submission for $2. It is the same letter that you get for free, I just give the option of a small gratitude payment if you think it is deserved.
You might find it useful when you are submitting a scientific article and the journal requires a cover letter. In it you will explain why they should consider your work for publication. Furthermore, you should describe what your contributions to the field are.
Some practical information for the submission:
- Do not paste your abstract in the letter. Make the content original.
- Be humble. Use sentences like “We believe our work can be of interest for scientist in the field…”.
- Initially you can be the corresponding author (the guy in charge of submitting the article) instead of your professor, he will make things go slow. Once your article is accepted, you can request to put him back as the corresponding author.

Dear Editor,
Please find attached our manuscript for publication in [Journal Name], entitled:
Title of Publication
By [List of Authors}.
This work describes the application of blablabla to predict the blablabla of a molecule, i.e. how much it blablabla, and to acquire a global understanding of how blablabla is organized. In order to achieve this we made use of the state of the art in blablabla and the most comprehensive collection of human blablabla. To our understanding, we are the first to provide a blablabla and to elaborate on its use for blablabla s, specifically in blablabla.
The use of blablabla s to classify blablabla and to compare them to other blablabla has previously been published, but no blablabla papers have appeared. The major contribution of the current work is threefold: Firstly, we employ and validate a blablabla to not only predict if blablabla, but also to assign a blablabla to molecules. Secondly, three blablabla sets are used to demonstrate the generalizability of our models and their applicability for blablabla. Thirdly, we investigate which blablabla properties and blablabla are characteristic of the blablabla.
We therefore believe that our work, as described in this manuscript, would be very much of interest to blablabla, but specially to scientists in the field of blablabla. Our aim is to show the blablabla community how they can benefit from blablabla. Therefore, we devise further development and application of this work to accelerate discoveries concerning blablabla
