A review article entitled “Three Decades of Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG): From Helioseismology to Magnetic Field and Space Weather” has been published in Solar Physics (Volume 301, article number 50, 2026). It offers a rich historical perspective on the network’s three‑decade evolution, tracing its origins as a three‑year program focused on full‑disk helioseismic Doppler measurements to its current role as a major data source for space‑weather prediction. It provides an overview of the instrumentation, data products, and key findings derived from GONG observations, highlighting their contributions to understanding the solar interior and its interactions with the atmosphere and heliosphere. The article also outlines a forward‑looking discussion on the next major chapter: highlighting plans for the next‑generation network, ngGONG. Online access: 10.1007/s11207-026-02639-9
