找人要代码的邮件怎么写

xzeng

在研究中，我们尽量去找那种有公开代码和数据的论文读，因为论文很难把实验的每个细节都描述清楚，只有读了代码，才算真正把算法搞清楚。

计算机的大部分论文，都是不公开代码和数据的，这时候就需要写信给作者要。

下面提供一下要代码的邮件模板，供大家参考。

标题： “A greeting from Xiangxiang Zeng”，或者“Regarding your microRNA-disease association article”

正文：
Dear (千万不要写成Dead，如果是非英语国家的作者，可以用他的母语来问候，比如西班牙语Hola) Prof. (如果不确定是不是professor，也可以用professor让他高兴一下) xxx,

I was working on the microRNA-disease association problem for a year at Xiamen University. I recently read your paper "......." and I think it is very interesting. But unfortunately, I have some problem when I try to implement your algorithm. Could you please send me the source code of your algorithm?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks and regards.

Dear Dr. Rajewsky I am a bioinformatics researcher from P.R.China. My research interest lies in looking for microRNA and other computational problems. I saw your paper Natural selection on human microRNA binding sites inferred from SNP data in Nature Genetics  and was very interested. Yet, I couldn't access the content since it's charged a viewing fee, which is too much to me, who have virtually a little income.    Would you please send me a copy of this paper? or help me find a copy somewhere in the Internet? It would be very helpful for my research and I will be very grateful for your help!       Please help! Thank you very much!    Best regards    Quan Zou

感谢邹老师补充“求论文模板”

这里有一封成功要到代码的邮件。一般来说，大牛很乐意指教刚入门的小菜鸟，因此写邮件要代码时，态度一定要谦虚，尊重。
Dear Mr.Cao,

I am an junior undergraduate student of Xiamen University in Fujian, China.

I just took my first step in scientific research focused on data mining and bioinformatics advised by Prof.Xiangxiang Zeng in our school. Recently I read your paper "Collective Prediction of Multiple Types of Links in Heterogeneous Information Networks" published in ICDM 2014. Your clear and compact declaration inspired me a lot. But I got some trouble when I try to implement the algorithm.

So could you please send me a copy of the source code if possible? I would be very appreciated if you can help me:)

Thanks and regards.
