[PCA] This week! Citizen Science Weeklong blog: Publishing and funding research in the growing field of citizen science

[De Angelis, Patricia]

For those who are involved in projects involving citizen scientists, this
network will be of interest. From June 12-19, they will host a weeklong
discussion to share experiences on publishing and funding research that
uses CitSci.

In addition to informative discussions, they provide infrastructure for
leaders of cit sci projects to register projects and find projects that
employ public participation in the furtherance of science, and provide
information and news on efforts to support such activities.

Best,
Patricia

Hi folks,

Join us as we kick off the first of our 2013 discussions! We’re beginning
with a conversation, hosted by Caren
Cooper<http://www.citizenscience.org/community/about-forum/hosts/>and
Sue
Silver <http://www.citizenscience.org/community/about-forum/hosts/>, aimed
at *learning more about the experience of publishing and funding research
in the growing field of citizen science*. Presenting citizen data and
contributions stemming from research about citizen science can be
challenging, especially with the varied perceptions of the field.

We’d like to hear about your experiences with peer-review publishing, and
the insights you’ve gained as a result. Hopefully we can have a great
discussion that results in some *shared strategies relevant to peer-review
issues unique to citizen science*.

Share your thoughts <http://www.citizenscience.org/community/> on the forum
starting *next Wednesday*! This will be a *weeklong discussion*, open
from *6/12
– 6/19*. Make sure you also check out last November’s lively
discussion<http://www.citizenscience.org/community/blog/2012/11/09/what-tools-and-technologies-are-powering-new-frontiers-for-your-citizen-science-projects/>on
technology in citizen science!

Looking forward to hearing from you!
