Citizen science practices have different frames to general scientific
research – the adoption of participatory methods in research design has long been
pursued in citizen science projects. The citizen science research design process
should be inclusive, flexible, and adaptive in all its stages, from research question
formulation to evidence-based collective results. Some citizen science initiatives
adopt strategies that include co-creation techniques and methodologies from a wide
variety of disciplines and practices. In this sense, the will to collaborate between
researchers and other stakeholders is not new. It is traditionally found in public
participation in science, including participatory action research (PAR) and the
involvement of civil society organisations (CSOs) in research, as well as in mediatory
structures, such as science shops. This chapter critically reviews methodologies,
techniques, skills, and participation based on experiences of civic involvement and co-creation in research and discusses their limitations and potential improvements.
Our focus is on the reflexivity approach and infrastructure needed to design citizen
science projects, as well as associated key roles. Existing tools that can be used to
enhance and improve citizen participation at each stage of the research process will
also be explored. We conclude with a series of reflections on participatory practices.
