mini cover letter #202

Closed davharris closed 7 years ago

davharris commented 7 years ago

PeerJ wants us to "Enter a [280-character] message explaining why a reviewer should review your article. It will be included in the email inviting them to review. Describe interesting, specific or unique aspects of the work." It's basically a mini cover letter.

PeerJ's example:

I believe you will enjoy reviewing this work because ~our Mitogenomic studies on Bryophyte genus Orthotricum results present a substantial change from the traditional taxon view~. We look forward to improving our article with your feedback. Thank you.

One possibility for the crossed-out bit:

it compares a suite of different ecological models for forecasting biodiversity to simple baselines on a long-term data set.

If no one objects, I'll probably go ahead with that wording or something similar.

Is this and the title all they get to decide? What about the abstract?

davharris commented 7 years ago

As of 2014, PeerJ sent out the title, abstract, and author list. That's what other journals do as well. I assume this hasn't changed, but don't know for sure.

I'm fine with this then. I feel like the abstract will be what people make up their mind with.
