Supporting Participatory Earth and Environmental Science through the Community Science Exchange

Participatory, community, and citizen science broaden engagement in science and help catalyze interdisciplinary solutions to urgent environmental problems. The Community Science Exchange aims to promote and disseminate this work, building connections between Earth and environmental science researchers, communities, local organizations, and the public. The Exchange, launched in 2022, is a partnership between several societies and publishers and is made up of two parts: Community Science, a peer-reviewed journal, and the Hub, a novel editor-vetted center for sharing resources and case studies complementary to and beyond the traditional paper. Four years on, we’ll present an update on topics and issues covered through the Exchange, discuss user-requested features, and solicit feedback on what’s next.
