I'm a new author considering submitting a manuscript to Earth System Science Data. I need to understand the submission process better. First, what are the two main types of articles ESSD publishes, and what is the typical length for a full-length article? Second, what are the key requirements for data repositories where I can deposit my research data, and what specific information must be included in the data description section of my manuscript? Lastly, how many Chief Editors does ESSD currently have, and what is the name of the Chief Editor whose last name starts with 'E'?
Navigate to 'https://earth-system-science-data.net'. Click on the 'Articles & preprints' dropdown in the navigation menu. Click on the 'Article types & length' link to find the main article types and typical length for full-length articles. Click on the 'Policies' dropdown in the navigation menu. Click on the 'Data policy' link to find key requirements for data repositories and information for the data description section. Click on the 'Editorial board' link. Count the number of Chief Editors and identify the Chief Editor whose last name starts with 'E'. Synthesize all collected information to answer the questions.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'Article types & length' page and identifies the two main article types as 'regular-length articles' and 'brief communications'. The agent states that the typical length for a full-length article is 'up to 30 pages'. The agent successfully navigates to the 'Data policy' page and identifies that data must be deposited in a 'publicly accessible repository' and must be 'citable (e.g., through a DOI)'. The agent states that the data description section of the manuscript must include 'access information (e.g., links to the data set, DOIs, and access restrictions)' and 'licence information'. The agent successfully navigates to the 'Editorial board' page and states that ESSD has '6 Chief Editors'. The agent identifies and states the name of the Chief Editor whose last name starts with 'E' as 'Kirsten Elger'.
