Motivations of Astronomy Citizen Scientists (5 minutes) | ECS Academy

We'll start with an introduction to a well-known study of volunteer motivations. This part of the course is based on a paper by Jordan Raddick et al, called "Galaxy Zoo: Exploring the Motivations of Citizen Science Volunteers". You can read the whole paper here.

You don't need to know any astronomy or learn any of the examples shown here - they are merely here as "this is something people found interesting"!
