We are delighted to announce that the article entitled “An analytics approach to health and healthcare in citizen science communications on Twitter” written by Fernando Martínez-Martínez, David Roldán-Álvarez, Estefanía Martín, and H Ulrich Hoppe has been published in the Digital Health journal. Their findings suggest that the most addressed topics by Twitter users are

We are delighted to announce that the article entitled “Inclusion and exclusion in citizen science: A matter of context” written by Michael Strähle and Christine Urban has been published in the conference proceedings of the STS Conference Graz 2022 that took place from 2-4 May 2022.

Main aim of the study This work presents opportunities, achievements, and future challenges in using computational analytics to better understand the connection between CS and the SDGs. The work in its status does not fully cover SDGs in CS, but it evaluates and shows the potential of the text-classification

The study aimed at assessing the pandemic’s impact on online CS participation and capturing CS project coordinators’ experience of the pandemic and their actions in managing the pandemic’s effects. 

Collect data on some project characteristics which cannot be answered by visiting project websites.

This study aims at understanding how the alignment between the motivational factors of CS participants and the recruitment speech used in the projects’ description is, by performing quantitative triangulation of data collected through a survey about 12 motivational factors for participating in a CS project, and the manual analysis

The study aim is to investigate how a combination of methods (such as data analysis, computational or quantitative methods) could be applied to gather CS projects information to support teacher’s practice and inspire them. 

In this case study we intended to reflect on how the online data about CS is shared and communicated in the websites, how could this data be extracted massively and stored in a central database to, later be analysed with different purposes. One of its, studied in this article,

Project descriptions are a central element of a Citizen Science project’s online presence and thus play a key role in recruiting volunteers. Very often, they are the first point of contact between a project and prospective participants. As such, they need to be reader-friendly and accessible, spark interest, contain

One of the main objectives of CS Track project has been to realise an explorative study of CS projects in Europe, with the aim to categorize, cluster and build a database of CS projects that would allow an analysis of them. This has allowed: (1) to compile of a
