Citizen Science Innovation in Open Science, Society and Policy

Citizen science is becoming increasingly popular as people seek to participate in scientific research. It offers a way for citizens to be more actively involved in scientific processes and play a role in sustainable development. The book, Citizen Science: Innovation in Open Science, Society and Policy, explores the role of citizen science in innovation in science and society. It covers topics such as open science and open innovation, and offers advice on making citizen science more accessible and democratic. The book provides valuable information for professional researchers looking to design citizen science projects, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in sustainability, responsible research and innovation, and citizen science.
