Community Science (also known as Citizen Science, Volunteer Monitoring, Crowdsourcing and many more synonyms) is a way of making the research process more inclusive and accessible to the public. Participants help collect data around a phenomenon of concern—water quality, weather, public health, astronomy, etc.—and through their collective action provide new insights, data sources, discoveries and perspectives. Data is not restricted to just numbers in a spreadsheet, either. Data can be pictures, videos, audio sounds, games and more.
