Summary: Earth Observation by means of remote sensing imagery and gridded environmental data provides opportunities for studying plant-environment interactions over space and time. However, a unified software framework is needed for efficient and scalable integrated spatio-temporal analysis. The open-source Python library EOdal enables the development of reproducible spatial data science chains, advanced data warehousing, sophisticated spatio-temporal analysis, and integration of different data sources.

Summary: The Students On Ice project has provided a platform for youth to engage in polar science through scientific expeditions. The recovery of glass bottles dropped into the ocean during these expeditions has allowed for a comparison between observational data and a regional ocean model. The study highlights the importance of large scale oceanic cycles in tracking marine debris and pollution, and demonstrates how simple data collection methods can provide insights into changes in ocean circulation.

Summary: Open Research is intended to make research more accessible, transparent, reproducible, shared, and collaborative. However, evidence shows that its implementation undermines equity. To address this, a diverse group of researchers, research managers, and funders co-created actionable recommendations to support equitable implementation. Using a co-creative modified Delphi method, they generated consensus-driven recommendations that tackle resource-intensive nature, high costs, and obstructive reward practices. This paper provides an overview of the issues, details the co-creative process, presents the recommendations and debates, and emphasizes the need for a global and inclusive approach.

Summary: This commentary discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with transitioning Water Resources Research to a Gold open access publication model, including a review of open access publishing models, community input, and the path forward for AGU leadership. The decision to switch to open access is framed by a mix of finances and values, with the challenge of defining payment methods and improving affordability, along with increasing the extent of open and accessible science. The next steps for the community involve analyzing the financial feasibility of different cost models and balancing the financial burden of open access with the desire to advance open science further.

Summary: The past decade has seen a rise in big team science initiatives, where a large number of researchers collaborate to achieve a common goal. However, there is a lack of guidance on how to establish, manage, and participate in these collaborations. This paper integrates insights from various multidisciplinary big team science projects to provide a practical guide. It covers initial considerations for launching a project, running and completing it, and addressing challenges unique to big team science, such as authorship decisions and collaborative writing.

Summary: This literature review examines the approach given to open science policy in different studies. The main findings reveal that open science is approached from different perspectives, including policy framing and its geopolitical aspects. The literature describes open science policies as tools for replicating asymmetries and governing knowledge. The geopolitical aspects discussed in the literature mainly concern the relationship between international, regional, and national policies. Furthermore, the literature highlights the emphasis on open data in English-language works and open access in Portuguese and Spanish-speaking papers. Finally, the relationship between open science policies and science policy is framed in terms of the innovation and transparency that open science can bring.

Summary: The problem of poor reproducibility of scientific findings has been a topic of concern in recent years. A recent multisite collaborative study investigated the reproducibility of brain anatomical left-right asymmetries in regional measures of surface area and cortical thickness. The study found an average reproducibility rate of 63.2%, with larger effects and larger datasets having higher reproducibility.
