EDITOR'S CHOICE: IS ‘GRASSROOTS’ CITIZEN SCIENCE A FRONT FOR BIG BUSINESS?



BY: PHILIP MIROWSKI

Editor's Choice: This is a rather provocative essay whose arguments are
completely specious in many instances, and completely wrong in others, but has
enough seeds of truth that it is worth pondering and acknowledging, and then
considering much-needed rebuttals. --LFF-- Excerpt: The very label ‘citizen
science’ (as opposed to, say, ‘amateur’ or ‘extramural’) carries the unsubtle
suggestion that science should be a participatory democracy, not an unpalatable,
autocratic regime. Proponents claim…

EDITOR'S CHOICE: DEFINING PRINCIPLES FOR MOBILE APPS AND PLATFORMS DEVELOPMENT
IN CITIZEN SCIENCE



BY: ULRIKE STURM, SVEN SCHADE, LUIGI CECCARONI, MARGARET GOLD, CHRISTOPHER KYBA,
BERNAT CLARAMUNT, MUKI HAKLAY, DICK KASPEROWSKI, ALEXANDRA ALBERT, JAUME PIERA,
JONATHAN BRIER, CHRISTOPHER KULLENBERG, SOLEDAD LUNA

Editor's Choice: The focus of this paper is a summary of two workshops held to
better understand the design and development principles for mobile or web-based
citizen science platforms. The recommendations from the working groups are well
worth reading - even if you think you know everything about developing citizen
science projects! - LFF Abstract: Apps for mobile devices and web-based
platforms are increasingly used in citizen science projects. While…

EDITOR'S CHOICE: CONTRASTING THE VIEWS AND ACTIONS OF DATA COLLECTORS AND DATA
CONSUMERS IN…



BY: CAREN B. COOPER, LINCOLN R. LARSON, KATHLEEN KRAFTE HOLLAND, REBECCA A.
GIBSON, DAVID J. FARNHAM, DIANA Y. HSUEH, PATRICIA J. CULLIGAN, WADE R. MCGILLIS

Editor's Choice: This paper points out that there is an oft-overlooked category
of people interacting with citizen science projects - people who do not
contribute to the data collection, but who nonetheless consume data and
information related to the project. The questions are then posed - do these data
consumers share the same characteristics as the data producers; and do they
actually impact project outcomes? If you have anything to…

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM CITIZEN SCIENCE TODAY



BY: CST EDITORS, LFF & AWA

What a year we saw with 2017! Staying focused on the positive, it was a great
year for citizen science. Here are just a few call-outs but all citizen
scientists should immediately pat themselves on the back! We CAN do it and have
fun at the same time. This year, the Citizen Science Association hosted its
annual meeting right here in the Twin Cities (from where we are writing) with…
