<p class="p1">Much can be at stake depending on the choice of words used to describe citizen science, because terminology impacts how knowledge is developed. Citizen science a quickly evolving field that mobilizing people's involvement in information development, social action and justice, large-scale gathering. Currently, wide variety terms expressions are being refer concept 'citizen science' its practitioners. Here, we explore these help provide guidance for future growth this field. We...
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...
Members of the public are making substantial contributions to science as citizen scientists, and advances in technologies have enabled citizens make even more contributions. Technologies that allow computers machines function an intelligent manner, often referred artificial intelligence (AI), now being applied science. Discussions about guidelines, responsibilities, ethics AI usage already happening outside field We suggest such considerations should also be explored carefully context...
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...

Marine processes are observed with sensors from both the ground and space over large spatio-temporal scales. Citizen-based contributions can fill observational gaps increase environmental stewardship amongst public. For this purpose, tools methods for citizen science need to (1) complement existing datasets; (2) be affordable, while appealing different user developer groups. In article, developed in 7th Framework Programme of European Union (EU FP 7) funded project Citclops (citizens’...

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.

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...
Tracking progress towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires high-quality, timely, and accessible data, often in areas where data are rarely available. Problems exist due to socioeconomic variations between countries qualitative nature of certain indicators their definition. Citizen science has potential contribute several SDGs. However, whilst citizen science’s SDGs is well documented, limitations when measuring impact that made toward SDG progress. To better...
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...
<ns3:p>Background Citizen science is increasingly recognized as a valuable scientific approach across disciplines, contexts, and research areas. However, its rapid expansion diverse methodologies make it challenging to establish single definition or universal criteria for what constitutes citizen science. This paper introduces the <ns3:italic>ECSA Characteristics of Science</ns3:italic>, offering nuanced exploration field support stakeholders, including policymakers funders, in understanding...
The European-Commission—funded project 'Citclops' (Citizens' observatory for coast and ocean optical monitoring) developed methods, tools sensors, which can be used by citizens to monitor natural waters, with a strong focus on long-term data series related environmental sciences. new based technologies, respond number of scientific, technical societal objectives, ranging from more precise monitoring key descriptors the aquatic environment (water colour, transparency fluorescence) an improved...
There is a growing acknowledgement that citizen observatories, and other forms of citizen-generated data, have significant role in tracking progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. This evident increasing number Goals’ indicators for which such data are already being used high-level recognition potential science can play. In this article, we argue networks observatories will help realise potential. Drawing on Cos4Cloud project as an example, highlight how make more interoperable...
