— Citizen Science Central. Process, Not Product: Investigating Recommendations for Improving Citizen Science “Success” Abstract Citizen science programs are increasingly popular for a variety of reasons, from public education to new opportunities for data collection.
The literature published in scientific journals resulting from these projects represents a particular perspective on the process. These articles often conclude with recommendations for increasing “success”. This study compared these recommendations to those elicited during interviews with program coordinators for programs within the United States. From this comparison, success cannot be unilaterally defined and therefore recommendations vary by perspective on success.

Citizen science is a research method that is growing rapidly.
It consists of letting citizens participate in research projects. In its report “Collaborative participation as a mode of knowledge production”, the French association Fondation Sciences Citoyennes (“Citizen Science Foundation”) presented public participation in scientific research as a way to help science face societal challenges. This article was translated from French by Timothée Froelich. The original is available at “La science participative au service de la société”. Last April, the French Citizen Sciences Foundation published a report on research practices in citizen science. Sources: Citizen Sciences Foundation Getting involved in society A project resulting from collaboration between actors of civil society and researchers often addresses a societal issue.
The Citizen Science Foundation also indicates that citizen groups will bring a different point of view from the researcher’s. Benefit a two-way street. Ibercivis. Crowdcrafting. CCC. Foldable Mini-Spectrometer. Welcome!
