The purpose of this qualitative, research-in-progress paper is to build upon recent developments in the public management and service literatures to better understand the increasing engagement of citizens and communities in the co-production of knowledge within Citizen Science (CS) projects. Mapping the variegated geography of contemporary CS, the study focuses on two cross-cutting make-or-break factors: the role of ICT and individual motivations to participate. The paper argues that a broader appreciation of Citizen Science informed by a service view becomes itself a potential source of new insights not limited to the CS field.

Abstract
The purpose of this qualitative, research-in-progress paper is to build upon recent developments in the public management and service literatures to better understand the increasing engagement of citizens and communities in the co-production of knowledge within Citizen Science (CS) projects. Mapping the variegated geography of contemporary CS, the study focuses on two cross-cutting make-or-break factors: the role of ICT and individual motivations to participate. The paper argues that a broader appreciation of Citizen Science informed by a service view becomes itself a potential source of new insights not limited to the CS field.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
