Citizen science projects have the potential to advance science by increasing the volume and variety of data, as well as innovation. Yet this potential has not been fully realized, in part because citizen science data are typically not widely shared and reused. To address this and related challenges, we built CitSci.org (see www.citsci.org), a customizable platform that allows users to collect and generate diverse datasets. We hope that CitSci.org will ultimately increase discoverability and confidence in citizen science observations, encouraging scientists to use such data in their own scientific research.
公民科学项目有潜力通过增加数据的数量和种类以及促进创新来推动科学发展。然而，这一潜力尚未得到充分实现，部分原因是公民科学数据通常没有得到广泛共享和再利用。为应对这一问题及相关挑战，我们创建了CitSci.org（见www.citsci.org），这是一个可定制的平台，允许用户收集和生成各种数据集。我们希望CitSci.org最终能提高公民科学观测的可发现性和可信度，鼓励科学家在自己的科研中使用此类数据。
