Introduction

Citizen science does not have a uniquely accepted definition. It could mean:

  • Participation of citizen for collection of data, for example observation of animals, pollution, or plant growth.
  • Participation of citizen for analyzing data, in various forms. For example, some provide computing power (a typical example is the captcha mechanism used in this wiki to used to curb spammers). Another would be helping to recognize patterns (e.g. forms of galaxies)
  • Dissemination of scientific thought and result in schools in order to promote engagement with science or with the intent to help updating the curriculum.
  • Amateur science, i.e. citizen create scientific thoughts and other products.
  • Citizen assessment of science and scientific projects
