El presente manual se centra en reconocer al usuario/lector del manual como un ciudadano potencialmente científico, por lo tanto, invita a utilizar las herramientas propuestas para que se anime, desde donde esté, a generar procesos de conocimiento local que ayude a buscar soluciones acordes con entornos específicos. La estructura del documento en tres capítulos, cambio climático, salud y cambio climático y ciencia ciudadana, facilita al lector avanzar paso a paso y de forma segura en un proceso que parte de la construcción teórica y termina en la práctica. Es decir, se parte de la premisa de que no existe mejor práctica que una buena teoría. En ese sentido, la teoría, como abstracción de la realidad, se basa en elaborar definiciones a partir de lo que hoy en día se sabe y se conoce para terminar orientando el quehacer. Un quehacer centrado en la ciencia para producir conocimientos locales que aporten a resolver el impacto del cambio climático en la salud de todos.

Todos podemos contribuir a generar conocimiento científico: ése es el supuesto básico de la ciencia ciudadana, una seductora modalidad de investigación que sale de las aulas, los cubículos y los laboratorios, e involucra a la gente común. En el espíritu de las empresas colaborativas —como la imprescindible Wikipedia—, en las que una multitud de participantes suma fuerzas para alcanzar una meta superior, esta forma descentralizada de hacer ciencia consiste en acumular observaciones, registros y análisis de cientos, o incluso millones, de voluntarios en cualquier parte del mundo, dispuestos a aportar su tiempo y su curiosidad en aras de comprender fenómenos que no podrían abordarse sólo con el trabajo de los científicos profesionales y que muchas veces incumben principalmente a las comunidades locales. Con una prosa aguda y humorosa, y con un fino equilibrio entre lo coloquial y el rigor técnico, Caren Cooper presenta aquí la historia, los fundamentos conceptuales y los alcances sociales de la ciencia ciudadana, más numerosos ejemplos de cómo personas de todo el planeta están participando en el estudio del clima, del cielo estrellado, de las aves o los insectos, y contribuyendo al avance de disciplinas como la bioquímica, la microbiología, la geografía o la salud pública. Después de leer este libro también tú querrás aportar tu grano de arena a la ciencia de nuestros días.

Los descubrimientos y hallazgos de la ciencia tienen hoy un impacto integral sobre toda la población, hasta el punto de que vivimos en una sociedad del riesgo global (pensemos en los efectos de las catástrofes nucleares; de las pandemias universales; de las crisis alimentarias mundiales; etc.) donde la sociedad civil no puede ser un objeto paciente, sino, al contrario, un sujeto activo que tiene el derecho y la obligación de participar en la cogestión de la ciencia y el conocimiento. La revolución digital, la promesa que encierra Internet, es la de empoderarnos como ciudadanos en el ejercicio de esa cogestión responsable, la de capacitarnos para trabajar colaborativamente en la construcción de una nueva forma de inteligencia colectiva, la de crear ciudadanos capaces de interpretar críticamente la realidad interpelando a la ciencia misma. "¡Todos sabios!" es a la vez el deseo y la apelación a que la sabiduría y el conocimiento sea cosa de todos.

Studies show that citizen science projects--projects involving nonprofessionals--face dilemmas ranging from austerity to presumed boundaries between science and activism. By unpacking the politics of citizen science, this book aims to help people negotiate a complex political landscape and choose paths moving toward social change and environmental sustainability.

James Wynn’s timely investigation highlights scientific studies grounded in publicly gathered data and probes the rhetoric these studies employ. Many of these endeavors, such as the widely used SETI@home project, simply draw on the processing power of participants’ home computers; others, like the protein-folding game FoldIt, ask users to take a more active role in solving scientific problems. In Citizen Science in the Digital Age: Rhetoric, Science, and Public Engagement, Wynn analyzes the discourse that enables these scientific ventures, as well as the difficulties that arise in communication between scientists and lay people and the potential for misuse of publicly gathered data.

This open access book discusses how the involvement of citizens into scientific endeavors is expected to contribute to solve the big challenges of our time, such as climate change and the loss of biodiversity, growing inequalities within and between societies, and the sustainability turn. The field of citizen science has been growing in recent decades. Many different stakeholders from scientists to citizens and from policy makers to environmental organisations have been involved in its practice. In addition, many scientists also study citizen science as a research approach and as a way for science and society to interact and collaborate. This book provides a representation of the practices as well as scientific and societal outcomes in different disciplines. It reflects the contribution of citizen science to societal development, education, or innovation and provides and overview of the field of actors as well as on tools and guidelines. It serves as an introduction for anyone who wants to get involved in and learn more about the science of citizen science.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the Third EAI International Conference on Data and Information in Online Environments, DIONE 2022, held as virtual event, in July 28-29, 2022. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually. DIONE 2022 aims to bring together academicians and practitioners willing to discuss topics around the intersection of Computer Science, Information Science, and Communication Science. The attractiveness of the scope and topics has brought relevant research results. This proceeding consists of chapters covering deep learning, data management, software design, social networks, natural language processing, and data processing in various contexts like scholarly publishing, health and medicine, higher education, innovation and research, energy and transportation, and organizations. The 18 full papers and 2 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 56 submissions. The papers are grouped in thematic sessions as follows: Informational challenges for the study of Science, Technology and Society relationships; and Advances in Artificial Intelligence for data processing and analysis in online social environments.
