Peer Production in Citizen Science: A Community-Centered Approach on the Example of Personal Science
Citizen science encompasses a wide range of practices where online collaboration for knowledge production plays a significant role. However, the study of forms of online collaboration other than crowdsourcing in citizen science has remained largely unexplored. This thesis aims to fill this gap by investigating peer production as a form of collaboration in online citizen science communities of practice. First, peer production theory was operationalized as a working model and used to analyze collaboration in citizen science case studies. This was followed by a comprehensive participatory design process for a specific use case involving the personal science community of practice. This process resulted in the creation of the “Personal Science Wiki”, an online space for consolidating community knowledge through peer production. Subsequently, a usability and card sorting study identified and resolved issues with the wiki implementation, and provided insights into mental models and content requirements regarding self-research knowledge. The lessons learned from the participatory design process were generalized as process recommendations for designing peer production solutions and knowledge management systems with communities of practice.

Grand Challenges for the Convergence of Computational and Citizen Science Research Workshop Report
This report is an outcome of a Computing Community Consortium (CCC) visioning workshop on Grand Challenges for the Convergence of Computational and Citizen Science Research conducted on April 8-9, 2025, in Washington, D.C. as well as through several precursor virtual input-gathering sessions. These events brought together experts across relevant disciplines to develop a research agenda that brings to fruition the above vision on how humans and machines may team up to solve some of the world's most pressing scientific problems. Citizen science delivers measurable economic and national value. Public participation in scientific research generates millions of dollars in volunteer labor value, extends government agency capacity, and directly supports federal priorities in areas such as disaster management, public health, water, energy, workforce development, and many more. At the same time, 21st-century scientific infrastructure requirements for citizen science (from hardware and cyberinfrastructure to data and computational frameworks) mirror those for computational science more generally. The distributed, collaborative, long-term, and contextual nature of citizen science makes it a demanding real-world use case for a novel robust research infrastructure that accounts for security, privacy, resource adaptability, and transparency. In this report, we outline the key findings, future research directions, and recommendations that emerged from the April 2025 CCC Grand Challenges for the Convergence of Computational and Citizen Science Research Workshop.

A Data Utopia for Science-of-Science
Here I want to briefly sketch out a vision for how to solve a key set of problems facing science-of-science researchers, using the relatively new idea of a ‘data trust.’ In my ideal wor…
