Subject: [PCA] This week! Citizen Science Weeklong blog: Publishing and funding research in the growing field of citizen science

 

For those who are involved in projects involving citizen scientists, this network will be of interest. From June 12-19, they will host a weeklong discussion to share experiences on publishing and funding research that uses CitSci.

 

In addition to informative discussions, they provide infrastructure for leaders of cit sci projects to register projects and find projects that employ public participation in the furtherance of science, and provide information and news on efforts to support such activities. 

 

Best,

Patricia

Hi folks,

Join us as we kick off the first of our 2013 discussions! We’re beginning with a conversation, hosted by Caren Cooper and Sue Silver, aimed at learning more about the experience of publishing and funding research in the growing field of citizen science. Presenting citizen data and contributions stemming from research about citizen science can be challenging, especially with the varied perceptions of the field.

We’d like to hear about your experiences with peer-review publishing, and the insights you’ve gained as a result. Hopefully we can have a great discussion that results in some shared strategies relevant to peer-review issues unique to citizen science.

Share your thoughts on the forum starting next Wednesday! This will be a weeklong discussion, open from 6/12 – 6/19. Make sure you also check out last November’s lively discussion on technology in citizen science!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

- Marion
(CitizenScience.org discussion wizard)

... and the entire CitizenScience.org team
