When working together goes against common sense
As biodiversity conservation becomes more urgent and the links between wildlife and rural well-being become more apparent, conservation researchers increasingly seek to engage with partners in agricultural communities through participatory approaches. A central hypothesis in participatory research is that inclusive, co-produced research facilitates more relevant, usable, and credible knowledge that can inform real-world decision-making processes,…
Misalignment Between Citizen Science Project Leaders and Their Organizations Increases the Challenges They Face Achieving Project Outcomes
Citizen science values include increasing natural resource management, enabling large-scale research, promoting education and scientific literacy, addressing environmental injustice, mitigating climate change, and more. Project leaders often work toward multiple outcomes at once and must prioritize their focus. Prioritization is complicated given the competing interests of scientists, volunteers, funders, and others. According to role conflict th…
Why citizen scientists volunteer
We conducted an experimental study in a country in the Global South, an understudied region, for a citizen science project on water flow. Volunteers received a standard or an experimental training linking volunteers to decision-makers to influence perceptions of project relevancy and participation. We conducted pre- and post-training surveys and interviews to assess motivations, barriers, and perceptions of project relevancy and participation. We…
Tracking Science
In response to recent discussion about terminology, we propose "tracking science" as a term that is more inclusive than citizen science. Our suggestion is set against a post-colonial political background and large-scale migrations, in which "citizen" is becoming an increasingly contentious term. As a diverse group of authors from several continents, our priority is to deliberate a term that is all-inclusive, so that it could be adopted by everyon…
The impacts of an invasive species citizen science training program on participant attitudes, behavior, and science literacy
Citizen science can make major contributions to informal science education by targeting participants’ attitudes and knowledge about science while changing human behavior towards the environment. We examined how training associated with an invasive species citizen science program affected participants in these areas. We found no changes in science literacy or overall attitudes between tests administered just before and after a one-day training pro…
The future of citizen science
Citizen science creates a nexus between science and education that, when coupled with emerging technologies, expands the frontiers of ecological research and public engagement. Using representative technologies and other examples, we examine the future of citizen science in terms of its research processes, program and participant cultures, and scientific communities. Future citizen‐science projects will likely be influenced by sociocultural issue…
