被称为“公民科学”的外行和专业科学家之间的合作是研究和数据收集的一个重要趋势。公民科学为科学和社会提供了重要的利益。例如，公民可以帮助科学家收集数据，并就研究设计和实施提供建议。公民还可以更好地了解科学概念和方法。此外，公民可以帮助科学家更好地了解和解决他们的家庭和社区关心的问题。然而，公民科学也提出了伦理问题，这些问题应该在项目开始时和整个科学调查过程中加以解决。为了促进道德研究，科学家应该制定公民参与研究的指导方针，在参与研究项目之初与参与者和当地社区进行有效沟通，仔细监督他们的工作，制定适当的出版实践，并为非专业志愿者提供教育和培训关于负责任的研究行为。研究人员还需要认识到明确这些角色和责任，以及促进适当和安全的公民参与和研究方法，数据分析和结果交流的透明度。爱思唯尔有限公司出版
The collaboration between laypeople and professional scientists known as "citizen science" is an important trend in research and data gathering. Citizen science offers important benefits to science and society. For example, citizens can help scientists with data collection and provide advice on research design and implementation. Citizens can also gain a better understanding of scientific concepts and methods. Additionally, citizens can help scientists better understand and address issues of concern to their families and communities. However, citizen science also raises ethical issues that should be addressed when projects begin and throughout the course of scientific investigation. To promote ethical research, scientists should develop guidelines for involvement of citizens in research, communicate effectively with participants and local communities at the outset of their involvement in research projects, carefully oversee their work, develop appropriate publication practices, and provide lay-volunteers with education and training on the responsible conduct of research. Researchers also need to be cognizant of clarifying these roles and responsibilities as well as promoting appropriate and safe citizen participation and transparency of the study methods, data analysis, and communication of results.
