Amateur Community and “Citizen Science”
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 April 2012
Abstract
Citizen Science is the act of collecting or analyzing data by enlisting the help of volunteers who may have no specific scientific training. The workshop discussed how “Citizen Science” fits into time-domain astronomy, what the roles of such volunteers might be, and how amateur astronomers can help in the new era of surveys.
