This chapter explores the ways in which the roles of citizens and
researchers play out in the social sciences. This is expressed by numerous
overlapping and related terms, such as co-production and participatory action
research, to name but two, and by the different social topics that citizen social
science draws attention to. The key question this chapter seeks to explore is what
does naming citizen social science as such bring to the fields of citizen science and
the social sciences? The chapter explores the different epistemic foundations of
citizen social science and outlines the development and provenance of citizen social
science in its broadest sense, reflecting on how it is currently practised. It draws on
different examples from the experiences and work of the authors and notes the
boundaries and overlaps with citizen science. The chapter also highlights some of the
key issues that citizen social science gives rise to, emphasising that while citizen
social science is a relatively new term, its underlying approaches and epistemic
foundations are at least partially established in the social sciences.
