Hooray! After four years of working on a paper that describes how the @ECSA Characteristics of Citizen Science were created, it is out. Describing the process, explaining the different domains, and explaining the relationships with ECSA 10 principles. There are plenty of useful things there. It is a useful partner to the Counters of Citizen Science paper from 2021 https://open-research-europe.ec.europa.eu/articles/5-128/v2 #CitizenScience #CommunityScience #Science #Research

Doing my bit for Défi Nature Urbaine Paris 2025 #CityNatureChallenge project. Exploring the area and learning about nature in Paris.
Also opportunity to think about mediocre citizen science - I'm somewhere in top 30, but it feels like I've done very little! #CitizenScience

And just to show how this is a "scale free" phenomena, here are my observations for @inaturalist.bsky.social in 2024 https://www.inaturalist.org/stats/2024/muki #CityNatureChallenge #CitizenScience

Looking at @inaturalist.bsky.social annual statistics I am both delighted and questioning the impact of City Nature Challenge (CNC) on the dataset. I love CNC because it's a distributed, volunteered, unfunded, loosely coordinated, #CollectiveIntelligence example. This makes it similar to Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap. AFAIK these are the only examples for this type of open data dataset. Any others? #CitizenScience #ParticipatoryResearch #Crowdsourcing

The Co-Pro Futures Inquiry will propose measures to address barriers to #participatory and #coproduced research within universities and the higher education sector in the UK .
The Call for Evidence and Ideas is one key way that we want to gather collective intelligence to support the sector-wide deliberation and development of an action plan. We are opening the call for submissions until February 28th 2025. Details below! #CoPro #Codesign #citizenScience #ParticipatorResearch please share!

From the Assoc for the Advancement of #ParticipatorySciences: #Citizenscience and #artificialintelligence (#AI) have emerged as two powerful tools for tackling complex scientific challenges. While citizen science harnesses the collective work of volunteers, deploying AI can complement or augment human efforts.

The Future of Artificial Intelligence and Citizen Science | Citizen Science: Theory and Practice

Citizen Science: Theory and Practice (CSTP) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed publication focused on the global field of citizen science and other participatory sciences. It provides a venue to share and advance related theories and practices, and serves those interested in and contributing to citizen science across all disciplines, including scientists, educators, community organizers, evaluators, information technologists, and resource managers. It also partners with organizations supporting citizen science and associated endeavors. The journal is an integral part of the Association for Advancing Participatory Sciences and is published by ]u[ Ubiquity Press. This is made possible by the significant support of many volunteer contributors; this includes its leadership team, editors, reviewers, and advisors. Are you interested in reading CSTP? See our latest articles in the feed to the right, or explore our extensive library in “Articles”. There is no charge to view our open-access publications, which are supported by author fees. Are you interested in submitting a manuscript? See our “About” tab to learn more about what we publish and to download our Author Guidelines for Submission. Please pay special attention to maximum allowed words for each submission type, as submission over that limit will not be considered.

A new paper in #NatureSustainability , led by @dilekfraisl.bsky.social and other colleagues at @iiasa.ac.at, on Leveraging the collaborative power of AI and citizen science for sustainable development https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-024-01489-2 #AI #ArtificialInteligence #CitizenScience #CommunityScience #SDG #SustainableDevelopmentGoals

Leveraging the collaborative power of AI and citizen science for sustainable development - Nature Sustainability

Integrating citizen science into artificial intelligence (AI) can help address major sustainability issues as well as some of the potential drawbacks associated with a wide use of AI. This Perspective highlights the advantages and challenges of such integration in light of achieving sustainable development.
