Abstract

WHAT IS CITIZEN SCIENCE? A DISCUSSION ON THE ELEMENTS OF ONTOLOGY, EPISTEMOLOGY AND METHODOLOGY OF CS IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES

The primary goal of this article is to undertake a critical examination of the Citizen Science (CS) concept, with a specific focus on its comprehension, evolution, as well as its purported and observed role within the realm of social sciences. The authors formulate several research inquiries pertaining to: (1) the contemporary understanding of CS in science; (2) the mechanisms shaping CS as an increasingly recognised approach in scientific research; and (3) the feasibility of applying CS in research within social sciences disciplines. Methodologically, the analysis relies on an interdisciplinary literature review, further enriched by employing the method of critically deliberating with representatives across a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines, showcasing diverse European academic traditions. The derived conclusions shed light on prevalent narratives concerning the core of CS, the mapping of its practical implementation, and both the constraints and opportunities within the field of social sciences.
