How are discussion papers and interactive comments archived in GMDD, and are the interactive comments citable?
• Discussion papers are archived in the regular volume of GMDD which is paginated in the same way as traditional scientific journals. The Short Comments, Referee Comments, Editor Comments, and Author Comments published in the interactive discussion of the papers are archived in a supplement with separate pagination, which allows citation of every individual interactive comment but avoids their indexing in scientific publication databases. • The formal separation of discussion papers and interactive comments makes the paper version of GMDD fully compatible with the structure of traditional journals. It does not, however, affect the direct electronic linkage between these documents, which allows efficient electronic viewing as well as compact printing of all components of the commented papers from the internet of GMDD.
