The Idea of Citizen Science?

Page 4: Citizen science presentation

The Idea of Citizen Science?

What is Citizen science?  is scientific research conducted ,in whole or in part ,by amateur or nonprofessional scientists .

Page 5: Citizen science presentation

What is Citizen Science?

Citizen science is sometimes called

"public participation in scientific research".

Page 6: Citizen science presentation

Citizen Science activitiesExample activity

The Audubon Society's Christmas Bird Count, which began in 1900

help gather data that will be analyzed by professional researchers

SETI Live, Galaxy Zoo, and other Zooniverse projects

can help analyze data that has been gathered by professional researchers

Earthwatch Institute. can volunteer at a research center or join a research expedition

NASA's International Space Apps Challenge

can compete in competition

include amateur radio, amateur astronomy, and Makeractivities.

can build and operate their own instruments to gather data for their own experiments or as part of a larger project

  James Cameron's DeepSea

Challenger project and Citizens in Space

can travel to areas that are seldom visited by professional researchers

Definition of Citizen Science.

other definitions of the term "citizen science:"(2 )the engagement of nonscientists in true

decision-making about policy issues that have technical or scientific components; and

(3 )the engagement of research scientists in the democratic and policy process.

—Bruce V. Lewenstein

Page 8: Citizen science presentation

History of Citizen Science.

"Citizen science "is a fairly new term but an old practice.

Page 9: Citizen science presentation

Citizen Science is a new tecnologymobile phones and other consumer electronic devices with recording capabilities for easy data collection

Example: the San Francisco project, the WildLab , iNaturalist ,

and Project Noah iPhone apps for monitoring birds, marine wildlife, and other organisms, and the NASA meteor counter app.

Citizen Science is a new tecnologyInternet has also been a boon to citizen science.

Example:  NASA's Stardust@home, Clickworkers, SETI Liv,

and variousZooniverse projects such as Galaxy Zoo, Foldit, and the Phylo video game[26]. National Geographic has an archeology project ,

: Field Expedition Mongolia

Quality and trust of Citizen Science data.To achieve data quality improvement in citizen sciencecontext, it is necessary to identify the criteria for high qualitydata. To do this, they employ a data quality measure cycle thatincludes:

1 .Identifying the data quality dimensions2 .Performing data quality measures

3 .Analyzing the results and identifying discrepancies4 .Implementing tools that provide necessary actions

toimprove the quality of data

Quality and trust of Citizen Science data.

Example of Citizen Science.

Urban Tree Phenology (UTP)

a project of Project BudBurst and the USDA Forest Servicecitizen science program that sought to educe the public, including the professionals and the amateurs among them, in collecting urban tree phenophase data. UTP participants monitored and reported the stages of phenological events, such as First Leaf and Leaf Fall, of twenty-four native and cultivated urban tree species.

Data collected will support the long-term research of ---- plant ecology,

---- climate change ,---- public health,

---- urban heat islands on tree physiology,---- and urban tree management.

Page 14: Citizen science presentation

Example of Citizen Science.

UTP, using the architectures of online learningdescription phase

has developed two instructional tutorials to assist data collection (Phase 1). The instructional tutorials were published online, in print and PowerPoint formats, at www.UrbanTreePhenology.com. By completing these tutorials, participants will gain the skills necessary to provide urban tree phenological data to national research databases via the Internet .

Phase 1

will test and review the instructional materials developed

Phase 2

the administrators of UTP will distribute promotional materials, to national research organizations, and to participants of the Project BudBurst national citizen science campaign.

Phase 3
