Open Science aims to make scientific research and its dissemination accessible to all levels of society to foster openness and transparency. Engaging in a dialogue with society to explore real-world problems is particularly important to increase the relevance of information systems research....

Plattfische wie Scholle (Pleuronectes platessa), Flunder (Platichthys flesus) und Kliesche (Limanda limanda) zählen zu den wichtigsten Zielfischarten der Angelfischerei in der Nord- und Ostsee. In der Ostsee werden jährlich erhebliche Mengen Plattfische durch die Angelfischerei gefangen, wobei...

We are in a time of rapid change on multiple levels. Change can be seen as positive by one group and negative by another. As a result, different perspectives on any given change can draw completely different conclusions. In these proceedings we want to address different approaches to change from...

This research paper aims to co-design a theoretical framework and methodological guidelines to monitor the performance, outcomes, and impact of Citizen Science projects. Hence, the proposed methodology com- bines the previous research efforts on the engagement of external stakeholders into a...

Data is ubiquitous in today’s digitized society. However, access to and literacy in handling data plays a pivotal role in determining who can benefit from it and who can use—or potentially misuse—it. To combat inequalities and address issues such as misinformation, it is essential to...

Social innovations are usually understood as new ideas, initiatives, or solutions that make it possible to meet the challenges of societies in fields such as social security, education, employment, culture, health, environment, housing, and economic development. On the one hand, many citizen...

The presented Research Topic explores the potential of citizen science to contribute to the development of social innovations. It sets the ground for analysis of mutual relations between two strong and embedded in the literature concepts: citizen science and social innovation. Simultaneously,...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine whether and how a methodological coupling of visualisations of trace data and interview methods can be utilised for information practices studies. Design/methodology/approach Trace data visualisation enquiry is suggested as the coupling of...

Purpose Information practices become highly complex in biodiversity citizen science projects due to the projects’ large scale, distributed setting and vast inclusion of participants. This study aims to contribute to knowledge concerning what variations of information practices can be found in...

Background: Citizen science offers an attractive paradigm for addressing some of the complex problems facing society. However, translating the paradigm's potential into meaningful action and sustainable impact remains a formidable challenge. Historically, the citizen science landscape was...

This book is the culmination of the COST Action CA15212 Citizen Science to Promote Creativity, Scientific Literacy, and Innovation throughout Europe. It represents the final stage of a shared journey taken over the last 4 years. During this relatively short period, our citizen science practices...

ICTs, personal data, digital rights, the GDPR, data privacy, online security… these terms, and the concepts behind them, are increasingly common in our lives. Some of us may be familiar with them, but others are less aware of the growing role of ICTs and data in our lives - and the potential...

Citizen Science, als Ansatz der Beteiligung von Bürgerinnen und Bürgern sowie Personen mit unterschiedlichen Interessen z.B. Landwirtinnen und Landwirte erlangt zunehmend mehr Beachtung in der Agrar-, Forst-, Fischereiforschung und der Forschung in ländlichen Räumen. Bei der Etablierung von...

Citizen Science - wörtlich übersetzt "Bürgerforschung" oder "Bürgerwissenschaften" - wird in der Wissenschaft, in den Medien und in der Politik vielfach diskutiert als Ansatz, Bürgerinnen und Bürger in Forschungsprozesse einzubeziehen. Die Möglichkeiten der Forschungsbeteiligung sind...

The aim of this workshop was to ask potential end-users of the citizens’ information pack on legal and ethical issues around ICTs (i.e. citizens and citizens’ groups) the following questions: What is your knowledge of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and what actions...

Purpose Citizen Science – public participation in scientific projects – is becoming a global practice engaging volunteer participants, often non-scientists, with scientific research. Citizen Science is facing major challenges, such as quality and consistency, to reap open the full potential...

Citizen Science is part of a broader reconfiguration of the relationship between science and the public in the digital age: Knowledge production and the reception of scientific knowledge are becoming increasingly socially inclusive. We argue that the digital revolution brings the “problem of...

Citizen Science ist Teil einer Rekonfiguration des Verhältnisses von Wissenschaft und Öffentlichkeit im Kontext des digitalen Wandels: Sowohl die Produktion als auch die Rezeption wissenschaftlicher Ergebnisse werden sozial inklusiver. Damit aber stellt sich das "problem of extension", das...
