Using peer production in citizen science to deepen volunteer engagement - Lessons from my PhD

Welcome

This website shares lessons from my PhD project, in which I explored an online collaboration approach called “peer production” as a means to support deeper volunteer engagement in citizen science projects.

By summarizing methods and lessons from my thesis and sharing them on this website, I hope to provide a useful resource for citizen science researchers, practitioners, and communities facing similar challenges striving for meaningful volunteer engagement in their online projects.
