“…The GovTech enabling environment generally improves with the rise in national income, although the development of enabling institutions follows a non-linear trajectory (Figure 2). This paper uses two cross-country datasets (GTMI GovTech Enabler Index (Figure 2, upper chart) and Alper and Miktus (2019)'s Enhanced Digital Access Index (EDAI) (the bottom chart)) to gauge a country's readiness for GovTech implementation. 11 While a clear positive correlation exists between digital accessibility and per-capita income (the bottom chart), the correlation with the level of institutional development necessary to support GovTech initiatives (GTMI Enabler Index) is ambiguous.…”

“…Source: World Bank GTMI, Alper and Miktus (2019). 11 The EDAI is the composite digital connectivity index, which comprehensively measures each country's level of digital connectivity from both demand-side (affordability of access, education level of population, actual internet usage) and supply-side (availability of digital infrastructure, the quality of ICT services).…”

“…A common data stream for the VGP is remote sensing products, which are open and encompass Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) principles (Wilkinson et al., 2016) for most countries, but not all (e.g., https://sentinel.esa.int/web/sentinel/missions/sentinel-2). These data streams are not free everywhere, and even so, require powerful processing systems and stable internet connectivity thereby creating unequal access opportunities (Alper & Miktus, 2019).…”

Integrated, Coordinated, Open, and Networked (ICON) science aims to enhance synthesis, increase resource efficiency, and create transferable knowledge. This article belongs to a collection of commentaries (Goldman et al., 2021) spanning geoscience on the state and future of Integrated, Coordinated, Open, and Networked (ICON) science. ICON-VGP is described here in the context of the core fields of geochemistry, volcanology and petrology. An important aspect to acknowledge here is that Volcanology, Geochemistry, Petrology (VGP) is an extremely broad field and encompasses both application areas and fundamental research questions that span investigations of mid-ocean ridge volcanoes to the creation of mountains. Integration within (VGP), and working across interdisciplinary research boundaries, have therefore emerged in response to specific applications and research goals. As an example, volcanology is strongly integrated with traditional subdisciplines (geology/ geochemistry/petrology) and allied fields (e.g., seismology, geodesy). However, traditional and structural definitions of volcanology and research modes hinder substantive integration, and integration is largely on the level of individual systems/specific challenges and not at a broader scale. The need for moving beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries is only now being recognized and these crossovers are being explicitly defined as volcanohydrology, archeological volcanology, etc. (e.g., Elson & Ort, 2018).
