Abstract
The NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is the primary Digital Library
portal for researchers in Astronomy and Astrophysics. It is also used
extensively by the broader community of Space Science Researchers. In
addition to the scientific literature, the ADS has for a long time
included in its database non-traditional scholarly resources such as
research proposals, software packages, and high-level data products,
making them discoverable and easily citable. Over the next three years,
in response to NASA’s efforts supporting interdisciplinary research
across Science Mission Directorate Divisions, the ADS will expand its
coverage of Planetary Science and Heliophysics content. During this
time, an in-depth analysis of this disciplinary content will provide us
with opportunities to improve our coverage of the literature as well as
linked research objects such as datasets and software, improving their
discoverability and citability. In this presentation I provide an
overview of the ADS system, its distinguishing features, and then focus
on our efforts to support and promote the goals of Open Science.
