Inter-Agency Implementation and Advanced Concepts (IMPACT) Kaylin Bugbee, Deborah Smith, Stephanie Wingo and Emily Foschee (ST11) co-authored an article introducing the importance of scientific curation and the application of it to two important IMPACT projects: the Airborne Data Management Group (ADMG) and the Science Discovery Engine (SDE). Eos is a source for news and perspective about Earth and space science, including coverage of new research, analyses of science policy, and scientist-authored descriptions of their ongoing research and commentary on issues affecting the science community. This paper identifies what scientific curation is, why it is needed, and the role all scientists can play in ensuring high quality information is retained and provided to the public in an authoritative, relevant, and reliable manner. The paper highlights the importance of scientific curation in an open science environment to provide context and clarity, making information, software, and data more findable and useful.
