This challenge has occurred roughly once a year since 2015, when the UN launched the SDGs. It lasts five weeks and involves five two-hour online coaching sessions as well as homework for the participants between sessions. The objective of the challenge is to coach a team of students about how to apply citizen science tools and methodologies to generate open data relevant to the SDGs. The goal of the coaching is to help each team develop their idea to the stage where they can make a compelling pitch that involves crowdsourcing of citizen-generated data. The format of the challenge has evolved as the organizing institutions have learned from each edition and improved iteratively. The purpose of this article is to describe the evolving methodology of the Open17 Challenge in the context of challenge-based learning (CBL) and more specifically discuss its relevance to e-learning. In particular, we analyse the potential of this methodology to generate new citizen science projects on issues relevant to the SDGs, with a view to enabling other organizations to adapt and apply this approach to specific SDG-related challenges.","PeriodicalId":32270,"journal":{"name":"Citizen Science Theory and Practice","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71067505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the pace of citizen science has exploded in recent decades, there remains untapped potential for scientific output through investment in research infrastructure (RI) that more specifically supports citizen science activities. Here, we provide a case study of how the biodiversity RI, the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) has supported the growth of citizen science over the past decade by improving access to and utility of citizen science data and products, resulting in around 50% of the 115 million records in ALA coming from citizen scientists. We show that around one quarter of data collection projects provide around half of all species observation records in the ALA, supplementing specimen-based data to provide a more comprehensive picture of species distributions in Australia. We then discuss how RI, like the ALA, supports common citizen science data challenges by implementing tools to standardise complex data, to safely store sensitive data, and to improve participation and discoverability of citizen science data. Our findings demonstrate the importance of investment in open access research infrastructure to support and augment the scientific value of the citizen science movement globally.","PeriodicalId":32270,"journal":{"name":"Citizen Science Theory and Practice","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135701090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is a lack of systematic analyses as to what distinguishes citizens’ willingness to contribute, and what such involvement could lead to in terms of acquired skills or changed attitudes. Based on a Swedish CS project on housing accessibility – the Housing Experiment (HX) – this study aimed to investigate: 1) the characteristics of senior citizens and persons with functional impairments involved in the HX; and 2) changes in attitudes and mobile digital literacy after completing the HX. Data were collected via online questionnaires before and after the HX (N = 147), and were analyzed statistically. The response rates were lower than anticipated. Study participants completing the HX reported high levels of mobile digital literacy and functional ability, and a higher education level than the general Swedish population. The only attitudinal change was that significantly more participants rated the importance of housing accessibility lower after their involvement in the HX compared with those rating it higher. This study confirms indications from previous studies that limitations in mobile digital literacy and functional ability affect the willingness and ability to get involved in research. Further research is warranted to investigate how similar CS projects could be designed to attract more participants and to create the conditions for greater gains for citizen scientists.","PeriodicalId":32270,"journal":{"name":"Citizen Science Theory and Practice","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135749912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article investigates the potential of collective intelligence as a tool within citizen science to create solutions for SDG-related challenges and to establish or enhance necessary governance mechanisms. We detail a collective intelligence experiment conducted during the UN Climate Change Conference 2019 (COP25; Madrid, December 2–13), which aimed to generate a prioritised list of actions addressing SDG 6, Water and Sanitation and SDG 13, Climate Action. The experiment involved 1,253 students aged 15 to 17 who proposed, modified, and prioritised 14,517 ideas using an online platform created by Kampal, a spin-off of the University of Zaragoza. We discuss: a) participation protocols following citizen science methodologies; b) the platform description; c) results concerning the participation process, the tool’s effectiveness in collectively extracting the best solutions, and the quality of the generated proposals; and d) enhancements and new research directions for using citizen science and collective intelligence to tackle SDG-related challenges in a collaborative and participatory way.","PeriodicalId":32270,"journal":{"name":"Citizen Science Theory and Practice","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71068003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
