Geomagnetism, Paleomagnetism and Electromagnetism Perspectives on Integrated, Coordinated, Open, Networked (ICON) Science

This article is composed of three independent commentaries about the state Integrated, Coordinated, Open, Networked (ICON) principles (Goldman et al., 2021, https://doi.org/10.1002/essoar.10508554.1) in Geomagnetism, Paleomagnetism, and Electromagnetism (GPE) section discussion on opportunities challenges adopting them. Each commentary focuses a different topic: Global collaboration, reproducibility, data sharing infrastructure; Inclusive equitable, accessible science: Involvement, challenges, support early career, BIPOC, women, LGBTQIA+, and/or disabled researchers; Community engagement, citizen science, education, stakeholder involvement. Data practices open repository use still varies strongly between GPE communities. Some have long tradition sharing; others are only starting it. Globally, leadership dominated by white males diversity may increase through creation Science Equality Commissions. Improved global involvement can research impacts help fight inequalities. In all investigated topics we see promising beginnings but also recognize obstacles that include lack funding, understanding diversity, prioritizing short-term gain over long-term benefit. Nonetheless, hopeful our community will embrace ICON science.
