citizen science game

2527415 Citizen science is a particular form of research that gets the public (i.e. citizens), with or without any background in scientific research, involved in undertaking a research project. The participants in these community-based or big global projects can contribute by collecting and/or analyzing data and results, conducting experiments, classifying and transcribing information or by playing citizen science games, which are often serious games. Usually, a number of professional researchers are planning and coordinating these efforts.


Examples of citizen science games include: Yormega, Sea Hero Quest and Foldit.
