(2021). <em>A Review of Open Educational Resources in the Geosciences: Guidelines and Criteria. </em>https://doi.org/10.31223/X5J90G <strong>Report</strong> This study examines the creation and adoption of OER in the Geosciences with a goal of providing guidance for institutions, libraries and librarians who support and fund OER initiatives. An environmental scan, employed to identify and characterize available college-level OER in this discipline, provided a baseline for the study. Analysis of the scan along with a review of OER, textbook and field guide standards informs a new set of proposed guidelines for Geoscience OER. This work will describe these guidelines and offer a call for community feedback. <strong>Data</strong> Appendix 1: Geoscience OER Environmental Scan and Data, 10.5281/zenodo.5542323 <strong>Research Products</strong> Guidelines Table, 10.5281/zenodo.5542306 <em>This work is a collaboration of members of the GeoScience Information Society (GSIS) which emerged from the Professional Issues Roundtable at the 2020 Annual Meeting (virtually on October 30, 2020).</em>
