	Citizen Science
		Citizen science is a participatory process for including all sectors of society - general public, government and industry - in the development and conduct of public-interest research in order to bridge the gaps between science and the community and between scientific research and policy, decision-making and planning.
		Citizen Science is one of five themes in the Coastal CRC and is integral to the integration of activities within the study areas where the CRC is working with stakeholders in the application and implementation of the science.
		Citizen science is founded on a set of guiding principles for effective and inclusive participation and partnerships to achieve sustainability.

	AllRefer.com - citizen (Political Science: Terms And Concepts) - Encyclopedia
		citizen, member of a state, native or naturalized, who owes allegiance to the government of the state and is entitled to certain rights.
		Citizens may be said to enjoy the most privileged form of nationality; they are at the furthest extreme from nonnational residents of a state (see alien), but they may also be distinguished from nationals with subject or servile status (e.g., slaves or serfs; see serf, slavery).
		Although the Constitution of the United States, as written in 1787, uses the word citizen and empowers Congress to enact uniform naturalization laws, the term was not defined until the adoption (1868) of the Fourteenth Amendment, which gave citizenship to former fl slaves.

	Citizen Science
		We envision citizen volunteers as active in gathering data and participating in the process of using and interpreting that data.
		Through citizen science, citizens can also build community capacity to use science to understand ecological change, and to engage public land managers on issues of wilderness management.
		Citizen science in wilderness provides an opportunity to broaden civic engagement in wilderness stewardship.

	`Citizen science' course to formulate conservation guidelines
		THE novel one-week 'citizen science' training course due to commence Saturday in the Rupununi, is ultimately intended to equip citizens to be able to formulate 'conservation guidelines' for the effective management of forests, the course instructor said yesterday.
		And since the citizens themselves will have a major input in relation to analysing and mapping out guidelines that will influence scientific decisions, on agriculture and conservation, the name 'citizen science' was coined, he said.
		Simply, Feinsinger said, 'citizen science', refers to "a group of approaches to environmental management that directly involves ordinary people, rather than relying on trained expert scientists." He sees it as an important component of effective resource management, which includes mapping by local citizens; understanding traditional systems; and the involvement of local people in environmental monitoring.

	UNESCO - World Conference on Science - Science and citizen
		Science, he added, was also important to ensure the trajectoire of sustainable development, for science was the basis for the progress of civilization.
		He pointed out that science must be more socially oriented, contributing to the achievement of a better quality of life; at the same time, it needed to have a humanistic orientation to prevent technological risks which might present a danger for the whole world.
		In general, the future of cities depended on their citizens more than on the State as far as protection of their private life and their security was concerned or, in a word, the totality of human rights.

	Citizen Science Projects
		Pure science would be going out every day and recording what you see, where applied science would be going out every day and testing nest boxes to see which ones the birds in your area preferred.
		Some people think that a citizen science project is possible only with an organized group of people, but I disagree with this, and feel that we must not lose sight of the individual citizen scientist.
		Rick Bonney, Director of Program Development and Evaluation, pointed out that CLO was not the first to establish the practice of citizen science, but their foundational contribution may have been that they were the first to figure out how to write successful proposals to get grants for citizen science projects from NSF.

		The Citizen Science Partnership project is in a start-up stage as of Spring 1997.
		The purpose of the Citizen Science Partnership is to enhance the process of building knowledge and understanding within a community or group of people about a variety of important issues in active watershed projects in Minnesota, so that citizens can take meaningful actions for sustainability of their watersheds and communities.
		Citizens have many potential sources for scientific data and understanding (agencies, non-government organizations, the academic community, industry) but there can be problems with delivery of that information.

		Such an impact of a citizen science education project like CNBN, which has never been documented in the literature, demonstrated that citizen science projects are successful environments for the increase of adult knowledge of factual science.
		First, since participants' interest in the subject of study (such as birds in the CNBN context) may move the more general scientific process to the background, citizen science projects should be framed in order to make the participants particularly aware of the scientific process in which they are taking part.
		Rick Bonney is co-director of Citizen Science Projects at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

		As water quality has become a more important issue in society, many citizen and student "stream teams" have become active, with the benefits of educating young people about the ecology of streams and lakes, how to identify a healthy stream, and learning about where their water comes from.

	Eds Up! #200: Black History Month, Citizen Science
		Science is, after all, a "systematized knowledge derived from observation, study, and experimentation." Eventually, college curricula caught up the natural sciences, offering degrees and courses of study in ecology, natural history, etc., but the amateur scientist continues to make significant contributions to the natural sciences, particularly in the field of ornithology.
		Citizen science has also led to the purchase of land that hosts breeding populations of several declining species.
		At the same time, citizen scientists come to better understand the complex issues surrounding birds and conservation, making them effective stewards within their own communities." There are plenty of citizen science programs in which classrooms or individuals can participate.

		Participatory research projects expose laypeople to Science (as well as exposing scientists to the community), but not all community-based research is done with the full participation of community members.
		Citizens as >(unpaid) data gatherers for answering "questions of real scientific >interest" is not a sufficient criterion in my opinion.
