I'm a first-time author interested in submitting a technical report to the ECCC. Please explain the initial steps for author registration, what information I'll need to provide for a new report submission, including any specific formatting for abstracts and the required file type for the paper. Additionally, what is the policy regarding withdrawing a report once it has been posted?
Navigate to 'eccc.weizmann.ac.il'. Click on the 'About ECCC' link. Click on the 'How to use' link. Read the 'How to register' section to identify the initial steps for author registration and required data. Read the 'How to submit reports' section to identify the information needed for a new report submission, including abstract formatting and file type. Read the 'How to withdraw a report' section to understand the policy on report withdrawal. Summarize the author registration process, new report submission requirements, and the report withdrawal policy.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'How to use' page. The agent states that author registration requires submitting name, e-mail address, affiliation, and choosing a password, and that an activation email is sent. The agent states that for a new report submission, authors need to enter title, abstract, authors, and keywords. The agent notes that LaTeX-style formulas are supported for abstracts. The agent states that the paper itself must be submitted as a PDF file. The agent explains that once a report has been posted on ECCC, its record cannot be removed, but authors may withdraw its claims by posting a revision with adequate contents and a description of changes.
