• Contributions from citizen science to science education: an examination of a biodiversity citizen science project with schools in Central Europe (2018, background): “Important motivational factors are personal interest in the subject, the satisfaction of contributing data to science, and, for projects with environmental focus, contribution to environment protection (Geoghegan, Dyke, Pateman, West, & Everett, 2016; Rotman et al., 2012).”
• Competing or aiming to be average?: normification as a means of engaging digital volunteers (2014, background): “[40] do not report social normalising behaviour as a motivator of participants in citizen science experiments.”
• Placing Transdisciplinarity in Context: A Review of Approaches to Connect Scholars, Society and Action (2019, background): “For instance, CAM practitioners have developed best practices about engagement [121] while CS leaders have learned about volunteer motivation [111,137] and engagement [138].”
• The Biological Records Centre: a pioneer of citizen science (2015, background): “Currently, there is a lot of interest in understanding the motivation of participants in citizen science (Rotman et al., 2012; Nov, Arazy & Anderson, 2014).”
