What is citizen science?
Citizen science is scientific research performed by non-professional scientists (citizen scientists). Citizen scientists can work independently, but they often work together with professional scientists. Citizen science is a very valuable scientific research method. Not only does it generate new scientific knowledge, but it can also generate spectacular results in community building and science education.
