发邮件向国外作者索要论文----原文

有时，想找的文献在论文数据库里面找不到，或者受制于权限，无法下载全文，可以向原作者索要，只要态度诚恳，大多数作者都会愿意发过来。前提是找到作者的有效联系方式，尤其是发表时间较早的论文，想找到电子邮箱等联系方式可能要花费一些功夫。可以先检索该作者的近些年发的文章，一般会有收获。上周，看到一期Nature上的文章，但在网上检索不到该期杂志的下载，加之宿舍网络无法登陆Nature数据库下全文，就尝试联系了文章作者，耶鲁大学地质和地球物理学院的一位研究人员。上周五晚上发的邮件，本周二晚上得到的回复。寄来的全文，除了见之于杂志上的6页文章外，还有几页是未在杂志上刊出的相关图表。网上有一些相关的邮件模板，重要的是态度诚恳，简洁：DearProf.(Dr.)XXX(作者名），IamXXXX,agraduate(doctoral)studentinXXXXUniversityinChina.MymajorisXXX(你的专业）.Iamveryinterestedinyourrecentlypublication:XXXXX(文章名),publishedinxXXXX（杂志名），XXX年。ButIhavenoaccesstothispaper,sowouldyoupleasemailmeaPDFfileofthispaper?Mye-mailaddressis:[e-mail]paper,wouldyoupleasemailmeacopyviaairmail.Sincerelyyours,XXXXXXXDearDr.（注：国外作者无论其是教授还是其他什么职务，如果有博士学位，他更愿意别人称他为博士），Iaminterestedinyourpaperentiltled------(Journalname,Vol,Page).IwouldbeverygratefulifyoucouldsendmeacopyinPDForworddocumentonmye-mailbox.Thankyou!Regards,Name,一个比较长的：DearProf.(Dr.)XXX,(author'sname)Iamagraduate(doctor)studentmajoredinXXX(你的专业）ofXXXUniversity（你的学校）inChina.Recently,Ifoundoneofyourarticles,titledXXXXXXXXXXXX（你所要的文章名）inXXXX(杂志).Ifounditmayhelpmeachievemygoalsinthisresearchfield.Thiswouldmakeareallypositivecontributiontomywork.Iwouldliketobeabletoreadthefulltextofthisarticle,butIhavenoaccesstothispaper,IwonderifyouwouldconsidersendingmethefulltextbyEmail.Thankyouforyourkindconsiderationofthisrequest.Sincerely:___________（您的名字）MyEmailaddressis:____________________（你的email地址）收到全文后的感谢信：注意：收到全文后一定要回复作者收到全文，并表示感谢。Dear______,Thankyouverymuchforyourhelp.Ihavereceivedtherequestedarticle.Yourkindhelpisverymuchappreciated.Thankyouagainforyourconsideration.YourssincerelyXXX自己写的：DearProf.XXX:IamXXX,agraduatestudentinGraduateUniversityofChineseAcademyofSciencesinChina.MymajorisMeteorology.IamveryinterestedinyourrecentlypublicationTropicalcyclonesandpermanentElNi?ointheearlyPlioceneepochpublishedinNatureonFeb25th2010.Ifinditmayhelpmeachievemygoalsinthisresearchfield.ButIhavenoaccesstothefulltextofthisarticle,sowouldyoupleasemailmeaPDFfileofthispaperbye-mail?Mye-mailaddressis（自己邮箱）Thankyouforyourkindconsiderationofthisrequest.YourssincerelyXXXApr24th,2010感谢信：DearProf.XXX:Thankyouverymuchforyourhelp.Ihavereceivedtherequestedarticle:TropicalcyclonesandpermanentElNi?ointheearlyPlioceneepoch.Yourkindhelpisverymuchappreciated.Thankyouagainforyourconsideration.YourssincerelyXXX（自己名字）Apr29th,2010
