Citizen science is the involvement of non-
scientists in scientificresearch, to tasks perform
such as observation, measurement, identification
or computation.
Citizen Cyberscience makes use of technology tools and platforms, such as the Web and mobile phones, to
enable crowd-sourced scientific research
Open Hardware, the Internet of Things, and the Maker Movement
are opening up many new possibilities for measurement, data
collection and computation
Extreme Citizen Science puts the tools for Science into the hands of
Citizens, who craft their own projects, in order to make a direct
impact on their world.
Just as the web is a democracy, with knowledge and know-how openly shared, Citizen Science is also a democratic movement, requiring
equal openness.
It is crucial that the resulting Research be shared openly and
accessibly, both in full and in layman’s terms
It is equally crucial that the Data be shared openly and accessibly, and should ideally be API’d and linked
