2 What is citizen science? Members of the public engaging in real-world scientific research Crowdsourcing Collaboration Community

3 By any other name...

2 What ’ s in a name? LabelResearch DomainKey Features Civic scienceScience communicationPublic participation in decisions about science People ’ s sciencePolitical scienceSocial movements for people-centered science Citizen scienceEcologyPublic participation in scientific research Volunteer/community- based monitoring Natural resource management Long-term monitoring and intervention Participatory action research Behavioral scienceResearcher & community participation & action Action scienceBehavioral scienceParticipatory, emphasizes tacit theories-in-use Community sciencePsychologyParticipatory community-centered social science Living LabsManagementPublic-private partnership for innovation

4 A few typologies Consultative, functional & collaborative Lawrence, 2006 Contributory, collaborative, & co-created CAISE report, 2009 Action, conservation, investigation, virtual, & education Wiggins & Crowston, 2011 Typologies based on goals & tasks Wiggins & Crowston, 2012

6 Participation in scientific tasks

6 Types of participation tasks Data collection Most common Observations & measurements Data processing On the rise Entirely virtual Image recognition & puzzle solving Data transcription On the rise Mostly virtual

6 Framing participation tasks Sharing my data/experiences Fits into daily life People like to share their passions Working on their/our tasks New, often unfamiliar tasks Can reinforce us/them divisions Playing games & solving puzzles Fits into daily life Explicit symbolic rewards, entertaining

8 Other important factors

10 Implications for design

11 Implications for design Honestly evaluate project resources & goals, work backwards

12 Implications for design Honestly evaluate project resources & goals, work backwards Recognize tradeoffs and make choices accordingly

13 Implications for design Honestly evaluate project resources & goals, work backwards Recognize tradeoffs and make choices accordingly Design to address resource constraints

14 Implications for design Honestly evaluate project resources & goals, work backwards Recognize tradeoffs and make choices accordingly Design to address resource constraints There ’ s more than one right answer
