Methods for measuring citizen-science impact
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like117 views
This document discusses methods for measuring the impact of citizen science projects online. It describes the development of a framework called MICS (Measuring Impact of Citizen Science) for assessing citizen science impact. MICS includes indicators for different domains like society, science, economy, environment and governance. The framework provides characteristics for each indicator such as its name, description, data type, and how data should be collected and analyzed. Case studies are being used to help implement and refine the MICS framework.

MICS Indicator
Characteristics Description
Name of Indicator Informative short name for the indicator
Description Succinct description of the indicator (what is it an indicator of)
Domain
Main domain to which the indicator contributes insights [society,
science, economy, environment, governance]
Qualitative/Quantitative
Type of data (quantitative or qualitative).
In some cases, the basic data will be qualitative (interview transcripts,
national reports or similar) which require coding / categorisation in
order to be useful for monitoring purposes.
Primary/Secondary data
Indicator based on:
Primary data (that needs to be collected) or
Secondary data (already existing)
estimates
Source of data
Primary data: specification of data collection method (e.g.
survey, interview, focus group discussion, observation, etc.)
Secondary data: specification of existing database, document
(specific page numbers, exact tables etc.), and direct links to
the data source in question (if available)
Estimates (summaries): expert judgement, e.g. project
coordinator
Time-series
For primary data:
Time-series required (yes/no; if yes, how frequent)
For secondary data:
Time-series available (yes/no) and (if applicable) actual years for
which data are available
Unit of measurement (observation)
Unit of measurement (observation), e.g. nominal, ordinal, interval
Unit of analysis
Unit of analysis (e.g. country, organisation, individuals (e.g. citizens),
publications etc.)
Analytical level (logic model)
Analytical level in the intervention logic model to which the indicator is
oriented (i.e. context, input, process, output, outcome, impact).
Links with indicators in other
domains
Domain(s)/indicator(s) to which the indicator (also) relates
Data collection
Details on how data should be collected for this indicator
Method (survey / questionnaire, data retrieved from
databases, structured/semi-structured/explorative interviews,
focus groups, observation, desk research, document analysis,
ethnographic field studies, etc.)
Questions asked
Type & # of respondents / informants, incl. size of this
population
Indicator building
Explanation of how results are calculated from collected data.
For quantitative sub-indicators, specify the unit (e.g. #, %, etc.)
Availability of data
Extent of data availability for the indicator and sub-indicators (e.g. low,
moderate, high)
