Summary

Typologies provide us with an insight into the field of citizen science and the types of activities and issues that happen within it. They help us to understand the projects within it and to discuss with a common language about a specific group of projects. They also provide us with an insight into the complexities of deciding what to include. There are other typologies about legal aspects, methodologies, use of technology, educational outcomes and you can find resources for these in the ‘Further Information and Learning’ section.
