- A PDF file that represents the complete preprint, poster, or conference presentation, including figures, tables, references, appendices, supplements that can be included in the single source file, and acknowledgements. The manuscript must include a title that is less than 300 characters and an abstract that is less than 3000 characters. Only one file can be uploaded as the primary preprint or presentation archive. Authors should convert Word, LaTeX or other source files (such as Jupyter notebooks) to a PDF and check the file for accuracy and resolution. PDF files should not include embedded comments or digital signatures. ESSOAr will try and identify and fill in the title and abstract for you.
- Links to datasets, software, and other files that directly support the manuscript. ESSOAr strongly encourages authors to follow leading practices in depositing and citing data and software and in identifying samples.
- Files for any supplements needed to support the paper. Supplemental files are limited to 2 MB each. Supplements should only be used for files that cannot otherwise be deposited in repositories. Jupyter notebooks are welcome as supplements.
- Information on the co-authors. Entry of co-authors is easiest if you have a list of and paste in their ORCID identifiers. ESSOAr will then gather the necessary author information (name and email only are used) from ORCID provided the co-authors have granted read permission of their ORCID accounts. Alternatively, you can enter names and emails for co-authors. The entered authors much match completely, and in order, the authors listed on the main PDF file. Mismatches will be returned for revision.
- Funding information for the paper (funders, grantees, and grant identifiers). The submission is completed entirely on one page. Partial submissions can be saved to be completed later.
