摘要

学术期刊手稿的在线提交门户网站通常包括求职信或同等内容的空间。但为什么这个机会应该标志着作者和编辑之间的第一次接触呢?本文通过探索作者和编辑之间早期的外展和通信的价值，重新想象了提交伴随的求职信。对于计划向人文学科和与人文相关的社会科学期刊投稿的作者，本文解释了在论文构思之后、论文撰写之前通过询问信发起联系的目的和做法。在收到一封积极收到的询问信之后，求职信就变成了直接的发送信，并附带编辑应该倾向于欢迎的预期提交。

Reimagining the Covering Letter: Why, When, and How to Communicate with Journal Editors before Manuscript Submission

Online submission portals for scholarly journal manuscripts regularly include space for a covering letter or its equivalent. But why should that opportunity mark the first contact between author and editor? This article reimagines the submission-accompanying covering letter by exploring the value of earlier outreach and correspondence between authors and editors. For authors planning submissions to journals in the humanities and humanities-adjacent social sciences, especially, this article explains the purpose and practice of initiating contact via query letter after manuscript conceptualization but before manuscript composition. Following a positively received query letter, a covering letter becomes a straightforward letter of transmittal accompanying an anticipated submission that an editor should be predisposed to welcome.

期刊介绍： For more than 40 years, the Journal of Scholarly Publishing has been the authoritative voice of academic publishing. The journal combines philosophical analysis with practical advice and aspires to explain, argue, discuss, and question the large collection of new topics that continually arise in the publishing field. JSP has also examined the future of scholarly publishing, scholarship on the web, digitization, copyright, editorial policies, computer applications, marketing, and pricing models. It is the indispensable resource for academics and publishers that addresses the new challenges resulting from changes in technology and funding and from innovations in production and publishing.
