Open science at AGU Publications: an update on open access, preprints, and FAIR data developments
Abstract
As AGU celebrates its centennial year and looks forward to the next 100 years, we are providing researchers an increasing number of ways to participate in open science. These include opportunities for early sharing of preprints and posters through ESSOAr, availability of the CRediT taxonomy for authorship, deposit of articles to institutional repositories, requirements for sharing of FAIR data, and open-access options in our 16 subscriptions journals, and 6 fully open-access journals. AGU is working to provide multiple routes to author compliance of open access mandates from funders including for signatories of Plan S. We will update on the latest expansions of "publish and read" deals for libraries and institutions. Earth and Space Science (ESS) is a gold open-access journal with a strong emphasis on data, methods (implicitly provenance) and interdisciplinarity. The journal is one example of a home for researcher to disseminate work and impactful results to a readership that is much broader than discipline-focused journals. A popular publishing mode for ESS is the development and release of special collections across multiple AGU journals. With the wide variety of topical areas, data types, computations, methods and techniques there is a significant opportunity for ESS to accelerate Findable-Accessible-Interoperable-Reuseable (FAIR) data practices across disciplines. The heterogeneity of repositories both in use and their technical capabilities to respond, let alone comply with FAIR is significant. This presentation includes a description of the current FAIR ecosystem for ESS (published and planned), the lessons learned to date, and speculation on future implementation options for FAIR as it relates to data and software.
