“…Some barriers to achieving the 'Open' principle are consistent across fields and some are discipline-specific. In the Collection's Paleoclimatology and Paleoceanography article, (Belem et al, 2022) describe one of the open science challenges as accessing "dark data," data collected before online and digitized data collection tools. Another challenge described by Belem and colleagues is in knowing where to manuscript submitted to Earth and Space Science look for data that a researcher needs because of the lack of a centralized and organized catalog of the databases and their contents.…”

The sciences struggle to integrate across disciplines, coordinate across data generation and modeling activities, produce connected open data, and build strong networks to engage stakeholders within and beyond the scientific community. The American Geophysical Union (AGU) is divided into 25 sections intended to encompass the breadth of the geosciences. Here, we introduce a special collection of commentary articles spanning 19 AGU sections on challenges and opportunities associated with the use of ICON science principles. These principles focus on research intentionally designed to be Integrated, Coordinated, Open, and Networked (ICON) with the goal of maximizing mutual benefit (among stakeholders) and cross-system transferability of science outcomes. This article 1) summarizes the ICON principles; 2) discusses the crowdsourced approach to creating the collection; 3) explores insights from across the articles; and 4) proposes steps forward. There were common themes among the commentary articles, including broad agreement that the benefits of using ICON principles outweigh the costs, but that using ICON principles has important risks that need to be understood and mitigated. It was also clear that the ICON principles are not monolithic or static, but should instead be considered a heuristic tool that can and should be modified to meet changing needs. As a whole, the collection is intended as a resource for scientists pursuing ICON science and represents an important inflection point in which the geosciences community has come together to offer insights into ICON principles as a unified approach for improving how science is done across the geosciences and beyond.

“…These ideas tie in again to the CARE principles described in Section 1.2. The Paleoclimatology and Paleoceanography article describes "true collaboration," as "co-develop[ing] mutually beneficial projects with the local community, aligning outcomes with both of their goals" (Belem et al, 2022).…”
