Abstract

Here we aim to provide guidance to support
people considering using a citizen science
approach, especially (but not necessarily
restricted to) monitoring biodiversity and
the environment in the UK. It will help you
decide whether citizen science is likely to be
useful, and it will help you decide which broad
approach to citizen science is most suitable for
your question or activity.
This guide does not cover the practical detail
of developing a citizen science project. That
information is provided in the ‘Guide to Citizen
Science’ (Tweddle et al., 2012).
