This publication contains software that can be used to pre-process data from the Globe at Night citizen science project, and then run an analysis to determine the rate of change in sky brightness. The software requires input data, which can be obtained directly from Globe at Night. The data used for our publication "Citizen scientists report global rapid reductions in the visibility of stars from 2011 to 2022" is published here, and can be used as input to the software. The process requires access to the World Atlas of Artificial Night Sky Brightness, which is also available from GFZ Data Services.
