gcb-cover-letter

separate

Use when writing the cover letter for a Global Change Biology (GCB) submission. The letter must convince the editor, in a paragraph or two, that the paper shows a mechanistic global-change advance of broad relevance that fits GCB's scope and article type. Structures the letter; it does not overstate the findings.

When to use

• Drafting or revising the cover letter for a new submission
• Stating why the paper fits GCB rather than a regional or conservation journal
• Declaring article type, novelty, and any required statements

When not to use

• Selling local/conservation relevance instead of global-change mechanism
• Proposing an unsolicited GCB Review
• Overclaiming novelty the manuscript does not support
