Ten Principles of Citizen Science

Citizen science is a flexible concept which can be adapted and applied within diverse situations and disciplines. The statements in the document were developed by the ‘Sharing best practice and building capacity’ working group of the European Citizen Science Association, led by the Natural History Museum London with input from many members of the Association, to set out some of the key principles which as a community we believe underlie good practice in citizen science.

ECSA's aim is to translate these principles into as many languages as possible. If you can translate the principles into your language, please contact ECSA headquarters.
