The move towards Open Science is poised to enable increasingly interdisciplinary, accessible science across the Earth, space, and environmental sciences. Open, FAIR data in particular is needed to enable continued growth in the use of AI and ML methods across the Earth, space, and environmental science. Open Science elevates the importance of outputs beyond the research article, with work across the international community to accomplish this. Many publishers, including the American Geophysical Union, now require authors to share data alongside their research articles in an effort to increase the transparency and reproducibility of science and enhance data reuse. Yet before we can fully realize the potential of FAIR data policies to advance the practice of science, significant challenges remain. These include the need for education and efficient workflows to ease the burden on the researcher and increase their uptake of open, FAIR practices at the point of data publication as well as at article publication. Here, we will share a progress report from AGU on the effect of publisher policies on data sharing and discuss work by AGU and the broader community to break down barriers for the researcher and to ensure that data creators receive appropriate attribution for their work.
