Abstract The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a vision for achieving sustainable future. Reliable, timely, comprehensive, and consistent data critical measuring progress towards, ultimately achieving, the SDGs. Data from citizen science represent one new source of that could be used SDG reporting monitoring. However, information is still lacking regarding current potential contributions to indicator framework. Through systematic review metadata work plans 244 indicators, as well...
Abstract Winning the right to host Olympic Games is widely regarded as most significant prize on offer in never‐ending contest between world's leading cities for prestige and investment. This essay explores implications significance of being an city. After recognising Olympics a mega‐event with inherent mega‐project tendencies, it provides chronological survey that shows changing agendas have brought bear staging Games. The increasing scale their ambitions noted, particularly respect urban...
Abstract. This paper presents 5 km×5 km Arctic emissions inventories of important greenhouse gases, black carbon and other pollutants under existing future (2050) scenarios that account for growth shipping in the region, potential diversion traffic through emerging routes, possible control measures. These high-resolution, geospatial can be used to evaluate climate sensitivity (a short-lived forcing pollutant especially effective accelerating melting ice snow), aerosols, gaseous including...
Citizen science is an increasingly acknowledged approach applied in many scientific domains, and particularly within the environmental ecological sciences, which non-professional participants contribute to data collection advance research. We present contributory citizen as a valuable method scientists practitioners focusing on full life cycle of practice, from design implementation, evaluation management. highlight key issues how address them, such participant engagement retention, quality...
The Paralympic, or Parallel, Games for athletes with disabilities have played a major role over the past half century in changing attitudes towards disability and accelerating agenda inclusion. This article charts their development from small beginnings as competition disabled ex-servicemen women England founded shortly after Second World War to present day ambulatory international festival of Summer Winter organized conjunction Olympic Games. Paralympic trace origins work Dr (later Sir)...
Online citizen science projects have demonstrated their usefulness for research, however little is known about the potential benefits volunteers. We conducted 39 interviews (28 volunteers, 11 researchers) to gain a greater understanding of volunteers' motivations, learning and creativity (MLC). In our MLC model we explain that participating progressing in project community provides volunteers with many indirect opportunities creativity. The more aspects are involved in, likely they sustain...
Citizen science has expanded rapidly over the past decades. Yet, defining citizen and its boundaries remained a challenge, this is reflected in literature—for example proliferation of typologies definitions. There need for identifying areas agreement disagreement within practitioners community on what should be considered as activity. This paper describes development results survey that examined issue, through use vignettes—short case descriptions describe an activity, while asking...
Citizen science is growing as a field of research with contributions from diverse disciplines, promoting innovation in science, society, and policy. Inter- transdisciplinary discussions critical analyses are needed to use the current momentum evaluate, demonstrate, build on advances that have been made past few years. This paper synthesizes results at first international citizen conference European Science Association (ECSA) 2016 Berlin, Germany, distills major points discourse into key...
Abstract Over the past decade, citizen science has experienced growth and popularity as a scientific practice new form of stakeholder engagement public participation in or generation knowledge. One key requirements for realising potential is evidence demonstration its impact value. Yet actual changes resulting from interventions are often assumed, ignored speculated about. Based on systematic review 77 publications, combined with empirical insights 10 ongoing projects field science, this...
This paper addresses current contentions that medical sociology is handicapped as both a scholarly and policy science by its subordinate relationship to the more powerful field of medicine. An analysis all research articles published in JOURNAL OF HEALTH AND SOCIAL BEHAVIOR which focus upon patients reveals following: (I) presence, majority, implicit explicit value assumptions influencing stages process, from definition problems variables through application findings health policy; (2)...
This document attempts to represent a wide range of opinions in an inclusive way, allow for different types projects and programmes, where context-specific criteria can be set.The characteristics outlined below are based on views expressed by researchers, practitioners, public officials the wider public. Our aim is identify that should considered when setting such (e.g. funding scheme), we call upon readers determine which subset these relevant their own specific context aims. These build...
Abstract This article explores how citizen science can contribute to achieving the United Nations (UN) sustainable development goals (SDGs) by focusing on complex and sometimes interrelated nature of sustainability challenges. Citizen presents a unique opportunity ethically engage communities in research actively involving them defining targets, gathering data, analysing results, thereby generating actionable insights that directly inform both local global efforts. The authors advocate for...
A concern for enduring urban outcomes lies at the heart of Olympic Games in a way that no other sporting or cultural event can match, but each age has recast ways which such have been framed light its own values and needs. Seen against background, this paper examines evolution movement’s sustainability agenda. It first considers how environment emerged as an issue within Winter through concerns over environmental protection, discusses measures introduced to embed into official practice,...
Apps for mobile devices and web-based platforms are increasingly used in citizen science projects. While extensive research has been done multiple areas of studies, from Human-Computer Interaction to public engagement science, we not aware a collection recommendations specific that provides support advice planning, design data management apps will assist learning best practice successful implementations. In two workshops, practitioners with experience application web-platform development...
In response to the need for approaches understand how citizen science is currently influencing environmental policy and associated decision making, we devised Citizen Science Impact StoryTelling Approach (CSISTA). We iteratively designed instruments be used as tools primarily practitioners seeking or communicate impacts. then trialled CSISTA on four exemplary initiatives, using different forms of inquiry collaboration with respective initiative leaders. this paper, present CSISTA, details...
Citizen Science (CS) is a prominent field of application for Open (OS), and the two have strong synergies, such as: advocating data metadata generated through science to be made publicly available [ 1 ]; supporting more equitable collaboration between different types scientists citizens; facilitating knowledge transfer wider range audiences 2 ]. While primarily targeted at CS, EU-Citizen. platform can also support OS. One its key functions act as hub aggregate, disseminate promote experience...

The decision to award the 2012 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games London has focused interest on lasting legacy of benefits problems that may result from staging games. This paper explores nature characteristics sports arising those It opens by considering meaning legacy, then gives a brief analysis legacies associated with two previous Olympics (1908 1948). considers promises made in bid documents for 2012, before examining progress challenges encountered during post-award development...
