5月底投了一篇文章，今天接收了。然后编辑发来信如下：

P.S.  I would need a high quality color photograph for the cover of the printed and online versions of the issue of the Plant Molecular Biology Reporter in which your paper is to appear.  Please send me one or two candidate high quality color photos to evaluate that might be suitable for the cover image of this issue. The illustration should be relevant to your paper but it must be an extra, different color figure than those to be published in the article itself. However, I will consider color versions of figures that are scheduled to be printed in black and white.

Please submit 1) an electronic file of an image that is 5 5/8 inches (143 mm) wide and 4 1/2 inches (114 mm) high. and 2) a 150−word summary of what the illustration shows should be submitted. The candidate figure must be submitted as a TIFF or JPEG file at a resolution of 300-600 dpi or as a clean hard color copy on photographic paper.

I look forward to evaluating your promptly submitted color image for possible use on the cover of the Reporter.

这是啥意思呢？是需要提交图面做杂志封面的备选吗？但是The illustration should be relevant to your paper but it must be an extra, different color figure than those to be published in the article itself. 就不能用文章中的图片？？？这种图片应该用啥呀？？可以拒绝吗？如何礼貌的拒绝呢？？？？


真的感谢大家。 返回小木虫查看更多
