It allows you to attach scientific publication metadata\u2014including DOIs, citations, and bibliographic information\u2014directly to STAC items and collections, enabling better discoverability and linking of geospatial data to the scientific literature that produced or describes it.\n\nThe package is a thin wrapper around the PySTAC core library, requiring only pystac-core as a runtime dependency. It targets Python 3.10 and later, is actively maintained, and carries no known security vulnerabilities. The versioning scheme ties package versions to the extension specification version, with post-releases used for code updates that don't change the target spec.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no security issues, installs with low friction, and fills a clear gap for projects that need to link STAC data to scientific publications. Use it if you're building or extending STAC catalogs that require publication metadata; skip it if your catalogs don't need citation tracking."},"id":"pystac-ext-scientific","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pystac-ext-scientific","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pystac-ext-scientific.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pystac-ext-scientific/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pystac-ext-scientific","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Scientific extension for PySTAC"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3981798,"position":2419,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.1"}
