From Conservation to Crowdsourcing: A Typology of Citizen Science (2011, background): “For example, a number of the citizen science projects that emerged over the past two decades place more emphasis on scientifically sound practices and measurable goals for public education [5].”
What Is Citizen Science? – A Scientometric Meta-Analysis (2016, background): “In addition, the issue of minimizing cost for large-scale observations has been declared as a central reason for implementing CS [1,2,37,39].”
Crowdsourcing, Citizen Science or Volunteered Geographic Information? The Current State of Crowdsourced Geographic Information (2016, background): “, crowdsourcing [4], citizen science [5] and user-generated content [6], to name but a few.”
Confronting the data-divide in a time of spatial turns and volunteered geographic information (2013, background): “tion objectives, citizen science projects frequently have public education ambitions, especially in the area of scientific literacy (Bonney et al. 2009).”
Enabling effective problem-oriented research for sustainable development (2012, background): “Citizen science projects that involve the public in conducting research or collecting data are another promising arena for mutual learning between scientists and the public (e.g., Bonney et al. 2009).”
Media Literacy as a Key Strategy Toward Improving Public Acceptance of Climate Change Science (2011, background): “Citizen science often accomplishes the dual goals of advancing scientific research and providing engaging informal science education experiences (Bonney et al. 2009).”
Engagement in science through citizen science: Moving beyond data collection (2019, background): “…teachers face when implementing citizen science in the classroom, the opportunity exists for informal science education organizations, such as museums, science centers, and environmental education centers, to offer these experiences to K-12 students during out-of-school time (Bonney et al. 2009).”
Invasive Species: to eat or not to eat, that is the question (2012, background): “This type of outreach is analogous to other citizen-science programs in which nonscientists aid scientists in their research (Bonney et al. 2009) and also to some control programs organized by many local conservation organizations in which volunteers contribute to the mechanical removal of invasive…”
Understanding the Motivations and Satisfactions of Volunteers to Improve the Effectiveness of Citizen Science Programs (2015, background): “Citizen science schemes may also increase the broader community’s understanding of the scientific process through experiential learning and involvement in research (Trumbull et al. 2000; Bonney et al. 2009).”
Data reliability in citizen science: learning curve and the effects of training method, volunteer background and experience on identification accuracy of insects visiting ivy flowers (2016, background): “Furthermore, citizen science can serve additional purposes, including outreach, raising scientific literacy, changing attitudes towards nature conservation and giving volunteers an opportunity to help science (Novacek 2008; Bonney et al. 2009; Cosquer, Raymond&Prevot-Julliard 2012).”
The value of monitoring wildlife roadkill (2020, background): “…Christmas Bird Count in 1900 (Droege 2007)), technology has allowed many new ‘ citizen science ’ projects to emerge in recent years, which curate the collective observations of members of the public to record data, whilst being unconstrained by time and geographical locations (Bonney et al. 2009).”
