This book examines the increasing popularity of online citizen
science projects arising from developments in ICT and rapid
improvements in data storage and generation. As these new
technologies allow for much higher levels of participation,
collaboration and interaction, the author explores what online
citizen science projects reveal about the 'democratisation' of
science and distributed engagement with authentic research.
Analysing the wider appeal of these projects as well as their
potential for informal science learning and creating communities of
practice, this book asks whether 'citizen' and 'researcher' will
ever be on equal footing. Drawn from years of mixed-methods
research, this volume sheds light on this under-researched subject
area despite its recent growth and enormous potential. It is sure
to be of interest to students and scholars of democratised
knowledge, citizen science and online learning, as well as those
already involved in citizen science.
