Dear Nicolas,

thank you very much for depositing your data to COD!

The file you have attached is fine at the moment and no longer contains
special symbols (our deposition pipeline has filtered them away). The
workaround in the COD deposition web site for the message you quote
would be to click on "Edit" button, and them immediately click on
"Save". I realise that this is an inconvenience and we'll see if we can
fix the Web site so that this message no longer precludes deposition.

There is one more nuance in the file you have provided: author names
should not be written in one line ('Massoni, Nicolas and Pierrick,
Chevreux') but as two separate strings in a loop:

> loop_
> _publ_author_name
> 'Massoni, Nicolas'
> 'Pierrick, Chevreux'

I also suggest adding DOI – this will make us easier to track back the
publications. Please find an updated file with these changes attached.
The file should be accepted by the COD deposition system.

Sincerely yours,
Saulius
