  • Engagement in science through citizen science

    Open AccessTina B Phillips, Heidi L Ballard et al.ARTICLEScience Education2019

    To date, most studies of citizen science engagement focus on quantifiable measures related to the contribution of data or other output measures. Few studies have attempted to qualitatively characterize citizen science engagement across multiple projects and from the perspective of the participants. Building on pertinent literature and sociocultural learning theories, this study operationalizes engagement in citizen science through an analysis of …

  • A Framework for Articulating and Measuring Individual Learning Outcomes from Participation in Citizen Science

    Open AccessTina Phillips, Tina B Phillips et al.ARTICLECitizen Science: Theory and…2018

    Since first being introduced in the mid 1990s, the term “citizen science”—the intentional engagement of the public in scientific research—has seen phenomenal growth as measured by the number of projects developed, people involved, and articles published. In addition to contributing to scientific knowledge, many citizen science projects attempt to achieve learning outcomes among their participants, however, little guidance is available for practit…

  • Can citizen science enhance public understanding of science

    Open AccessRick Bonney, Tina B Phillips et al.ARTICLEPublic Understanding of Science2016

    Over the past 20 years, thousands of citizen science projects engaging millions of participants in collecting and/or processing data have sprung up around the world. Here we review documented outcomes from four categories of citizen science projects which are defined by the nature of the activities in which their participants engage – Data Collection, Data Processing, Curriculum-based, and Community Science. We find strong evidence that scientifi…

  • Next Steps for Citizen Science

    Open AccessRick Bonney, Jennifer L Shirk et al.ARTICLEScience2014

    Strategic investments and coordination are needed for citizen science to reach its full potential.

  • The history of public participation in ecological research

    Open AccessAbraham Miller-Rushing, Abraham J Miller‐Rushing et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Ecology and the…2012

    Members of the public have for centuries recorded their observations of the natural world, including plant and animal distribution and phenology, water quality, weather data, and astronomical phenomena. Given the relatively recent growth of ecological research as a professional field of study, the historical contributions of amateurs to ecology can be easily overlooked. To better understand long‐term changes in ecosystems, researchers are now rev…

  • The current state of citizen science as a tool for ecological research and public engagement

    Open AccessJanis L Dickinson, Jennifer Shirk et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Ecology and the…2012

    Approaches to citizen science – an indispensable means of combining ecological research with environmental education and natural history observation – range from community‐based monitoring to the use of the internet to “crowd‐source” various scientific tasks, from data collection to discovery. With new tools and mechanisms for engaging learners, citizen science pushes the envelope of what ecologists can achieve, both in expanding the potential fo…

  • Citizen Science

    Rick Bonney, Caren B Cooper et al.ARTICLEBioScience2009

    Citizen science enlists the public in collecting large quantities of data across an array of habitats and locations over long spans of time. Citizen science projects have been remarkably successful in advancing scientific knowledge, and contributions from citizen scientists now provide a vast quantity of data about species occurrence and distribution around the world. Most citizen science projects also strive to help participants learn about the …

  • Scientific knowledge and attitude change

    Dominique Brossard, Bruce V Lewenstein et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Science…2005

    This paper discusses the evaluation of an informal science education project, The Birdhouse Network (TBN) of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. The Elaboration Likelihood Model and the theory of Experiential Education were used as frameworks to analyse the impact of TBN on participants’ attitudes toward science and the environment, on their knowledge of bird biology, and on their understanding of the scientific process. The project had an imp…
