abstract |
While Citizen Science projects involve people in passive or active project tasks,
Citizen Inquiry offers the opportunity for deeper involvement through initiating and
facilitating science investigations. This study aims to explore the creation and evolution
of Weather-it, a Citizen Inquiry online community hosted by the nQuire-it platform.
Weather-it enables people to create and maintain their own weather missions (investigations),
to which other people can contribute. The evolution of Weather-it community is explored
through social network graphs of Weather-it members and their interactions. Information
regarding other aspects of the community such as the type of members, their recruitment
and motivations, and the identity and sustainability of the community, is collected
through a survey comprising open and closed-ended questions. The results indicate
differences in these community engagement aspects between Citizen Science and Citizen
Inquiry projects, providing insight into the behaviour of people in projects that
require more active involvement throughout the scientific investigations. |
