首先，當然是要把文章寫出來，這里要注意的是一定要寫的規范、流暢、條理清晰，結果的好壞固然是最重要的，但一定要在意編寫的水平。
下面是發表的過程
1. 上傳或寫信或發E-mail投遞
Dear Prof. xxx(Editor):
Attached(寫信就用Enclosed) please find the latex(或者PDF) version of my paper entitled "xxx" with the kind request to consider it for publication in the journal xxx.
The authors claim that none of the material in the paper has been published or is under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Should you receive the paper, please send me a e-mail to confirm receipt
of it.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Sincerely, yours

稍加修改就可以作為一個上傳時用的cover letter.
