Citizen Science is the involvement of the non-academic public in the process of scientific research - whether community-driven research or global investigations (citizescience.org). Citizens do scientifc work - often working together with experts or scientific institutions. They support the collection, analysis or description of research data and make a valuable contribution to science.
