Survey on trust in citizen science projects

The aim of the study is to investigate which characteristics and practices of citizen science projects particularly influence public trust.

The survey presents brief descriptions of hypothetical citizen science projects – for example, who organises them, how participants are involved, and how data is handled. You then decide which project you find most trustworthy and give a brief assessment. Participation is anonymous and voluntary and takes about 20 minutes.
