我们在进行Meta分析时，可能经常碰到数据不完整的情况，这时我们需要联系原始研究的作者，中文水平大家都很好，英文邮件该怎么表达？

今天，小编分享一封万能模板，供大家参考！

However, some important information and data have not been reported in the apaper.（表示对方的文章的重要性，切记文章一定要注明清楚，有些文章很多的大牛不一定记得清是那篇！）

By the way, on behalf of our group we will add your contribution in the acknowledgement part of the article (on behalf of ourgroup we kindly invite you to participate in this project; your assignments will be to provide the data of your study, review and revisingof the paper and, in the final, joining us as a co-author of the paper 到底是在致谢部分进行感谢，还是邀请作为共同作者，小编认为主要取决于原始研究的数据量大小！) We believe that this paper will result in a good publication.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Meta分析不需要自己做实验、收集数据，可以快速发表。国人每年Meta分析发表量非常大，很多人都利用Meta分析解决了晋升的难题！
