近年来，公民科学有了巨大的增长，部分原因是互联网的影响，以及相应的兴趣增长。然而，受到媒体和研究人员关注的少数突出例子并不能代表整个领域的多样性，因此对于那些寻求研究或启动公民科学项目的人来说可能不是最好的模式。在这项工作中，我们提出了公民科学项目负责人的调查结果，确定小组的项目类型，根据各种功能相关的项目设计和管理，包括资金来源，目标，参与者的活动，数据质量的过程中，和社会互动。这些综合特征突出了公民科学的多样性，概述了这一现象的广度，并为公民科学项目与其他在线社区之间的比较奠定了基础。
Citizen science has seen enormous growth in recent years, in part due to the influence of the Internet, and a corresponding growth in interest. However, the few stand-out examples that have received attention from media and researchers are not representative of the diversity of the field as a whole, and therefore may not be the best models for those seeking to study or start a citizen science project. In this work, we present the results of a survey of citizen science project leaders, identifying sub-groups of project types according to a variety of features related to project design and management, including funding sources, goals, participant activities, data quality processes, and social interaction. These combined features highlight the diversity of citizen science, providing an overview of the breadth of the phenomenon and laying a foundation for comparison between citizen science projects and to other online communities.
