Why citizen science cannot answer the question of the democratisation of science

We are delighted to announce that the article entitled “Why citizen science cannot answer the question of the democratisation of science” written by Michael Strähle and Christine Urban has been published in the conference proceedings of the Austrian Citizen Science Conference 2022 (ACSC2022) that took place from 28 – 30 June, 2022 in Dornbirn, Austria. It is a frequent claim that citizen science democratises science. This paper argues that this claim is on shaky ground due to unfounded generalised assumptions about citizen science and unclear notions of democratisation. Therefore, it should be abandoned.
