  • The untapped potential of inter-project cooperation of citizen science projects in Austria

    Open AccessBarbara Heinisch, Florian Heigl et al.ARTICLEPublic Understanding of Science2026

    Despite the growing interest in citizen science, many projects continue to operate in isolation. This study explores the current state and potential for cooperation among citizen science projects in Austria by analyzing the extent, reasons and obstacles for cooperation. Through a questionnaire distributed to 121 projects listed on the Austrian citizen science platform Österreich forscht , 50 projects were examined. The analysis found that interac…

  • Next-gen terminology

    Barbara HeinischARTICLEAcross Languages and Cultures2025

    As large language models (LLMs) are being integrated into the field of terminology, they offer promising support across various stages of the terminology workflow. From term extraction to definition generation and concept system creation, LLMs can be integrated into traditional workflows. This raises the question as to whether LLMs will supplement or replace conventional terminology tools. LLMs differ from traditional tools as they do not rely on…

  • Navigating the participatory turn in agricultural and food research

    Open AccessRaquel Ajates, Petra Benyei et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2025Cited by: 1References: 58

    Food systems have enormous impacts on people and the planet, with agriculture and food research becoming strategic for many countries. However, the way this research is conducted and the rise of new agri-food technologies have ethical and socio-economic implications. To address these, many scholars are gaining interest in participatory methods, such as citizen science, but are unfamiliar with the latest debates on ethical and methodological issue…

  • A novel way of extracting full-fledged terminologies from multilingual texts

    Open AccessDagmar Gromann, Barbara Heinisch et al.ARTICLELexicographica - International…2023

    Terminology as a term refers to terminology science and simultaneously to practically curated terminological resources (TR). The latter fall within the scope of language resources. Manually curating such a TR is labor- and time-intensive. Thus, it has been a long-standing research endeavor to reduce this effort by automating the TR creation process. However, to this point such endeavors have focused on terms rather than on interrelations. Instead…

  • The Role of Translation in Citizen Science to Foster Social Innovation

    Open AccessBarbara HeinischARTICLEFrontiers in Sociology2021References: 3

    Citizen science has become a world-wide phenomenon. Especially for citizen science projects that have a global reach, translation is crucial to overcome language and cultural barriers to reach members of the public. Translation, understood as the transfer of meaning (of a text) from one language into another language, is crucial for the transmission of information, knowledge and (social) innovations. Therefore, this paper examines the role of tra…

  • Citizen science in the social sciences and humanities

    Open AccessLoreta Tauginienė, Eglė Butkevičienė et al.ARTICLEPalgrave Communications2020

    Citizen science evolved through multiple disciplinary manifestations into a new field of study and a participatory method of enquiry. While most citizen science projects take place within problem-focused natural sciences, social sciences and humanities help understanding the human dimension and open a broad methodological spectrum for enriching scientific research with new approaches and for boosting public participation. In this paper, we use a …

  • Sackgassen der Bildung

    Ludwig A Pongratz, Barbara Heinisch et al.BOOKSackgassen der Bildung2010Cited by: 3

    Die Auseinandersetzung mit pädagogischen Fragen stößt gewöhnlich auf Spannungsverhältnisse, die sich gegen glatte Lösungen sperren. Sie fordern zu einem offenen und unkonventionellen Umgang mit pädagogischen Problemen heraus. An ausgewählten pädagogischen Zentralbegriffen - Erziehung, Bildung, Schule und Unterricht - wird demonstriert, dass Pädagogik zu ihrer ursprünglichen Verpflichtung zurückkehren muss und wieder »anders« gedacht wird. Die Erw…
