摘要

公民科学是个人的。公民的参与取决于他们与某一主题或对他们有意义的人际关系的联系。但从同行评议的文献来看，科学家与公民之间似乎是一种以获取数据为中心的关系。这引发了对与公民科学家之间榨取性关系的伦理和实用主义批评。我们建议采取五个切实可行的步骤，将公民科学研究从采掘式转变为关系式，重新定位研究过程，为研究人员和公民科学家提供互惠互利。公民科学家凭借他们的兴趣和在当地环境中的经验，拥有专业知识，如果他们参与进来，可以改进研究方法和产品设计决策。为了提高科学成果对社会和参与者的价值，公民科学研究团队应重新思考如何吸引和重视志愿者。

Citizen silence: Missed opportunities in citizen science

Citizen science is personal. Participation is contingent on the citizens’ connection to a topic or to interpersonal relationships meaningful to them. But from the peer-reviewed literature, scientists appear to have an acquisitive data-centered relationship with citizens. This has spurred ethical and pragmatic criticisms of extractive relationships with citizen scientists. We suggest five practical steps to shift citizen-science research from extractive to relational, reorienting the research process and providing reciprocal benefits to researchers and citizen scientists. By virtue of their interests and experience within their local environments, citizen scientists have expertise that, if engaged, can improve research methods and product design decisions. To boost the value of scientific outputs to society and participants, citizen-science research teams should rethink how they engage and value volunteers.

期刊介绍： BioScience is a monthly journal that has been in publication since 1964. It provides readers with authoritative and current overviews of biological research. The journal is peer-reviewed and heavily cited, making it a reliable source for researchers, educators, and students. In addition to research articles, BioScience also covers topics such as biology education, public policy, history, and the fundamental principles of the biological sciences. This makes the content accessible to a wide range of readers. The journal includes professionally written feature articles that explore the latest advancements in biology. It also features discussions on professional issues, book reviews, news about the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS), and columns on policy (Washington Watch) and education (Eye on Education).
