#126 - Why we Should be Paying Citizen Scientists with Dr Jack Nunn

At the CitSciOz25 conference, Dr Jack Nunn presented a discussion paper created in collaboration with the Australian Citizen Science Association and the Australian Academy of Science’s Theo Murphy Institute. Using participatory methods, the team explored the challenges within citizen science and identified ways to improve it.Over fifty contributors provided more than sixteen thousand words of input, which were analysed using STARDIT—Standardised Data on Initiatives—an open platform hosted by Wikimedia Australia.The tool allows users to document who did what, which methods and funding were used, and what outcomes were achieved. By gathering this information across many projects, researchers can begin to identify effective practices and move towards truly evidence-informed approaches.More Informationhttps://scienceforall.world/https://citizenscience.org.au/citscioz25/About The Citizen Science Show PodcastThis episode of the Citizen Science Show podcast is coming to you from CitSciOz25 the Australian Citizen Science Association conference, in Melbourne Connect, a world-class innovation precinct at The University of Melbourne.If you enjoy this content, please like and subscribe to our show wherever you get your podcasts.
