I am submitting an updated version of my data paper to ESSD. What are the specific submission requirements for indicating a former version on the manuscript registration form, creating the 'version comparison file', and compiling all supplementary materials, including this comparison file?
Navigate to 'earth-system-science-data.net'. Go to the 'Living data process' page. Locate the 'Guidelines for authors' section. Identify how to indicate a former manuscript version on the registration form. Determine the requirements for the 'version comparison file'. Find instructions on compiling all supplementary materials, including the comparison file. State the findings for all three aspects.
State that a note should be made in the 'Information about former manuscript version' box on the manuscript registration form. State that a 'version comparison file' must be a track-changes document submitted as a PDF supplement. State that if there are other supplementary materials, all files (including the version comparison file) should be compiled into a .zip archive.
