例3：强调论文成果的意义及重要性的投稿信

Dear Editor，

We submit our manuscript entitled“Shared care for patients with Type 1 diabetes:...”to Progress in Natural Science for publication.

We trust our paper will be of interest to your readers as it reports the results of a care scheme that shares responsibility for diabetes Type 1 care between general practice and hospital outpatient clinics.The scheme meets the need for an organisational model that addresses capacity problems in hospital outpatient clinics caused by the rising incidence of diabetes.

The present study is the first to report an evaluation of a shared care scheme for diabetics in Denmark.It is also，to our knowledge，the first report of a study where general practitioners participating in the shared care group have been unselected.This has become possible because the study comprised all general practitioners within the same country.

We found that diabetics in the shared care scheme matched the control groups in terms of....We conclude that shared care for diabetes is as effective as conventional care，and that shared care makes the most effective use of specialist time by moving routine consultations to primary care.

All authors included in the paper fulfill the criteria of authorship.(www.daowen.com)

简析：这封投稿信的主要目的是说明稿件中的部分内容在国际会议上作过学术交流。通常情况下，如果稿件内容没有以全文形式在会议论文集中公开发表（论文集有国际书号ISBN或国际刊号ISSN等公开出版物的标识），以期刊论文形式投稿是允许的。

如果期刊要求作者在投稿的同时做出某些声明或承诺，例如：版权转让（copyright transfer），各位作者的贡献（contributions），是否涉及利益冲突（conflict of interest）等，就一定要按要求分别提供书面文字（详见例5）。否则期刊很有可能要求作者补齐这些材料后才考虑送交同行评审。例5：有关版权转让协议和作者贡献的说明信
