Centering Community: How Scientific Publishers Can Promote Inclusive Research Practices

Fieldwork is inevitably place based and raises the question of how local communities are engaged. We have been working to create venues for communicating research that has addressed community priorities, and that support co-creation with local communities. We will highlight the Community Science Exchange (CSE), a collaboration by a coalition of partner societies. The CSE launched to elevate, share, and expand the reach of science performed by, for, and with communities through the journal Community Science as well as the Hub, designed for sharing various outputs of community science. We will also discuss AGU Publications’ policies aimed at improving transparency and equity for research collaborations in resource-limited settings.
