Research transparency and rigor is supported by well-documented data that is as open as possible. Making data products easy to discover and evaluate as a separate research product from a paper brings new ways for other researchers and potential collaborators to learn of our work. This is especially important for cross-domain and transdisciplinary efforts. Within the Earth, space, and environmental sciences, journals are implementing common author guidelines for data and code that support the published research, and requiring they be deposited in a community-accepted repository that supports the FAIR Principles (where FAIR stands for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). Data and code are cited in the reference section of the paper along with availability statements that clarify access to these research products. Similar efforts implementing the FAIR Principles are underway by our colleagues at the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) that makes possible a valuable opportunity to collaborate on a common message and share ideas.<br/><br/>More work is needed across all domains to ensure the culture change needed to implement open and FAIR data sharing is sustainable and adopted across the international scientific community. Encouraging data and code sharing across all domains, credit for well-documented digital products, and adequate funding for the repositories and infrastructure needed to support the digital elements of our research is essential.<br/><br/>
