citizen science

An active collaboration between amateur participants and researchers or professionals in a scientific project according to scientific standards and open science principles. (Based on Heigl et al.. "Toward an international definition of citizen science" (23 Apr 2019). Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. Available at https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/26703469 (Accessed on 12 Dec 2024))

Active engagement in scientific work differentiates citizen science from other forms of public participation in scientific research where volunteers take less active roles, such as providing computing resources for projects like SETI@home or participating as a subject in a research study.

While the term “citizen science” is globally recognized, including by governments and funding agencies, there has been an ongoing debate over the last couple decades in the United States regarding its use. People working with volunteers or volunteers themselves have raised concerns about the word “citizen,” because many groups in the United States have been excluded from citizenship based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or sexual orientation (Cooper et al. 2021). Citizenship can have major implications for access and human rights. The word “citizen” can also imply that anyone without citizenship (i.e., those who are undocumented) are unwelcome (Ellwood et al. 2023). (Smithsonian Environmental Research Center.
