1 like155 views
The document discusses the integration of citizen science within various scientific domains, emphasizing its relevance to environmental policy and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. It outlines the ten principles of citizen science that promote citizen involvement in scientific projects and explores the complexities of defining and characterizing citizen science. The document also highlights the importance of collaboration, data sharing, and addressing ethical considerations in citizen science initiatives.

- 20. CITIZEN SCIENCE PROJECTS HAVE A GENUINE SCIENCE OUTCOME 2 For example, answering a research question or informing conservation action, management decisions or environmental policy.
- 21. Benefits may include the publication of research outputs, learning opportunities, personal enjoyment, social benefits, satisfaction through contributing to scientific evidence e.g. to address local, national and international issues, and through that, the potential to influence policy BOTH THE PROFESSIONAL SCIENTISTS AND THE CITIZEN SCIENTISTS BENEFIT FROM TAKING PART 3
- 22. This may include developing the research question, designing the method, gathering and analysing data, and communicating the results CITIZEN SCIENTISTS MAY, IF THEY WISH, PARTICIPATE IN MULTIPLE STAGES OF THE SCIENTIFIC PROCESS 4

She is an active supporter of the Garden Birdwatch programme (GBW), and happy to give it £17 a year. However, she doesn’t have time to carry out the bird watching survey. She is reading with interest the reports from the BTO GBW and finds the information motivating to continue her support of the project. 1.1, 2.6, 3.1, 4.2, 5.1, 6.2, 7.2, 8.6, 9.1, 10.7 DITOS – Doing it Together Science, Deliverable: Innovation Management Plan

- 45. The Characteristics Areas 1. Core Concepts 2. Disciplinary Aspects 3. Leadership and Participation 4. Financial Aspects 5. Data & Knowledge
- 46. Core Concepts Here, we look at the conceptual issues that might help to decide the degree of citizen science of a given project. This can be especially challenging in areas that were Identified as ambiguous, such as the difference between a clinical study of digital health tools and participatory sensing activities of the exact same tools. • Science & Research • What counts as research • Intention and framing • Hypothesis-driven, monitoring, inductive, exploratory, and database creation • Roles and responsibilities • Subject or participant • Ethics
- 47. Disciplinary Aspects Our study of views demonstrated that some areas of research are especially prone to ambiguity, or two specific issues that relate to practices within the sub-disciplines in these areas. We therefore explain what the specific issues are for each area. • Disciplinary views – scientific and technological, arts and humanities, social sciences • Medical sciences and human health
- 48. Leadership & Participation Here we focus on who is the ‘project owner’: the body, group or individual that has control over the project’s development. We discuss the roles of participants and their engagement with the project. • Individual, community-led or research-led • Organisations (RPOs, CSOs, public) • Commercial activities • Degree of engagement • Small vs large scale • Professionalism vs voluntarism • Science engagement and education • Links to decision making
- 49. Financial Aspects Unlike other contributions that are happening in citizen science (e.g. time, use of physical resources, use of knowledge and expertise), financial transactions stand out as an area that can lead to contention about the classification of a project. • Financial support for scientific research • Payment to take part in a project. • Incentives to participate in an activity.
- 50. Data & Knowledge The final section looks at how data- and knowledge-generation issues influence a given activity. • Data and knowledge generation. • Data ownership and use • Data quality • Local and lay knowledge-sharing and application • Opportunistic vs systematic data collection • Digital data-collection tools • Sharing personal and medical data
