Citizen science is a scientific research methodology that involves public participation in data collection, analysis, or project design. This approach leverages the collective efforts of non-professional scientists to address diverse scientific questions across various disciplines. Its key characteristics include the active engagement of volunteers in generating or processing data, often facilitated by accessible tools and technologies, and the potential for generating large-scale datasets. The significance of citizen science lies in its capacity to expand the scope and scale of scientific inquiry, foster scientific literacy among participants, and democratize access to and engagement with the scientific process.
