About this product

Product Information

Handbook of Citizen Science in Ecology and Conservation is the first practical and comprehensive manual for creating, implementing, or improving natural science research and monitoring projects that involve collaboration between scientists and the general public. As citizen-science projects become increasingly common, there is a growing need for concrete best practices around planning and implementing successful projects that allow project leaders to guide and gauge success while also ensuring the collection of high-quality data and rewarding experiences for volunteers. Citizen-science practitioners from around the world with decades of experience provide step-by-step instructions, insights, and advice, and they explore real-world applications through case studies from a variety of citizen-science projects. This handbook is the definitive reference guide for anyone interested in starting or improving a citizen-science project with ecological or conservation applications, from professors and graduate students to staff at agencies and nongovernmental organizations.

Reviews
This is not a volume about specific ecological research methods, but rather about the strengths and challenges inherent to launching a project that incorporates data contributions of nonspecialists. It is useful as a guide and handbook, and I highly recommend it for practical use.
