Citizen science projects are activities sponsored by a wide variety of organizations so non-scientists can meaningfully contribute to scientific research. Activities vary widely from transcribing old ship logbooks to digitize the data as part of the Old Weather project to observing and counting birds at home or in the field for eBird. Participation can be as simple as playing a computer game for a project called Eyewire that may help scientists learn more about retinal neurons. It can also be more in depth, such as when citizens collect water quality data over time to assess the health of local waters, or help discover and name new species of insect. An emerging branch of Citizen Science are Community Mapping projects that utilize smartphone and tablet technology. For example, TurtleSAT is

  • Citizen science projects are activities sponsored by a wide variety of organizations so non-scientists can meaningfully contribute to scientific research. Activities vary widely from transcribing old ship logbooks to digitize the data as part of the Old Weather project to observing and counting birds at home or in the field for eBird. Participation can be as simple as playing a computer game for a project called Eyewire that may help scientists learn more about retinal neurons. It can also be more in depth, such as when citizens collect water quality data over time to assess the health of local waters, or help discover and name new species of insect. An emerging branch of Citizen Science are Community Mapping projects that utilize smartphone and tablet technology. For example, TurtleSAT is a community mapping project that is mapping freshwater turtle deaths throughout Australia. This list of citizen science projects involves projects that engage all age groups. There's projects specifically aimed at the younger age demographic like iTechExplorers which was created by a 14 year old in the UK to assess the effects of bedtime technology on the body's circadian rhythm and can be completed in a classroom setting. Oher projects like AgeGuess focus on the senior demographics and enable the elderly to upload photos of themselves so the public can guess different ages. Lists of citizen science projects may change. For example, the Old Weather project website indicates that as of January 10, 2015, 51% of the logs were completed. When that project reaches 100 percent, it will move to the completed list. There are more than 3,000 active and searchable global citizen science projects listed on the SciStarter website. (en)
  • I progetti di Citizen Science sono attività organizzate e sostenute da una vasta gamma di organizzazioni in modo che semplici cittadini possano contribuire alla ricerca scientifica. Le attività collegate alla Citizen science sono di vario tipo e spaziano dal trascrivere vecchi giornali di bordo di navi per digitalizzare i dati climatici e geografici come nel progetto Old Weather ad osservare e contare gli uccelli presso la propria abitazione o in campo aperto come in eBird. Per quanto concerne la partecipazione si va da quella semplice proposta dal progetto EyeWirenel quale si ricostruiscono le immagini dei neuroni collegati alla retina ad una più complessa come quella proposta da Mark2Curein cui si devono riconoscere termini e collegamenti di causalità in abstract di articoli scientifici nell’ambito della ricerca medica. Un ramo sempre più importante della Citizen Science è quello che riguarda la mappatura di determinati fenomeni ed eventi che utilizzano smartphone e tablet o computer collegati a particolari sensori come nel progetto Quake-catcher network.
