The eagerly awaited publication “The Science of Citizen Science” is now available as as open access publication from Springer. Over 100 authors contributed to this book, including Julia Lorke and Yaela Golumbic from the CS Track project team. “This book is a wonderful conclusion of four years of intensive exchange within a European research network on citizen science.
