⇳ Description [[Has project description::CS4CS stands for Citizen Science for Citizen Science. It describes what you are looking at, i.e. the collection of forms, templates and queries that can be accessed from this wiki's Portal: citizen science page.

This protect is sponsored by the EU FP 7 Citizen CyberLab. Its aim is to collect information about Citizen Science Projects that are of interest to citizen science researchers but also to the public at large.

The purpose of the CS4CS project is to contribute to the the "general picture", i.e. understand certain aspects of citizen science by looking at a larger set of documented projects.

The CS4CS sub-project aims in particular:

To create an inventory of citizen science projects, infrastructure and software
To identify properties of interest to learning, creativity, motivation and community researchers
To provide a searchable database and some summary statistics

Description[edit source]

CS4CS stands for Citizen Science for Citizen Science. It describes what you are looking at, i.e. the collection of forms, templates and queries that can be accessed from this wiki's Portal: citizen science page. This protect is sponsored by the EU FP 7 Citizen CyberLab. Its aim is to collect information about Citizen Science Projects that are of interest to citizen science researchers but also to the public at large. See also: CS4CS technical documentation

Purpose.[edit source]

The overall Citizen Cyberlab project will research and evaluate on-line collaborative environments and software tools that stimulate creative learning in the context of Citizen Cyberscience. The purpose of the CS4CS project is to contribute to the the "general picture", i.e. understand certain aspects of citizen science by looking at a larger set of documented projects. The CS4CS sub-project aims in particular:

To create an inventory of citizen science projects, infrastructure and software
To identify properties of interest to learning, creativity, motivation and community researchers
To provide a searchable database and some summary statistics

Research question.[edit source]

There are no specific research questions for the CS4CS project. See the Citizen CyberLab site for various posts that describe research conducted in this project.
