当然,会议论文如果以书或杂志增刊出版了的话,那就算发表了,一般不可以再投了(除非有足够的扩充)。比如LNCS里就有写明,出版社有独家发表权,作者保留的权利该不大了。 http://www.springer.com/cda/cont ... WID=0-0-45-154182-0 The copyright transfer covers the sole right to print, publish, distribute and sell throughout the world。。。
如果有一部分内容在会议论文集上发表过,投期刊的时候如何写cover letter呢?
编辑一般不会细看coverletter。小部分内容重复,文章里引用前面的会议文章就可以了。若有很多重复,甚至只是做了小的修改,一般要写清楚:“An earlier version of this paper was presented at the International Conference on...”。实际上,根据会议文章扩充修改投到杂志的,在文章的acknowledgement 或footnote里最好写上这句(像感谢赞助单位一样)。
