公民科学广泛地描述了公民参与科学。近年来，由于智能手机和其他用于收集和共享数据的互联网和通信技术（ICT）的广泛普及，公民科学获得了巨大的发展势头。不仅有更多的项目启动，更多的公众参与，而且更多的人机交互（HCI）研究人员正在关注这些工具的设计，开发和使用。公民科学和HCI研究人员可以利用彼此的技能来加速科学，加速学习，并在全球和当地扩大社会福祉。本文的重点是HCI和生物多样性公民科学，主要是通过作者实验室的研究透镜。这篇文章围绕五个主题展开：社区、数据、技术、设计，以及拯救所有物种的呼吁，包括我们自己。文章最后提出了一个研究议程，重点放在这些领域，并确定了人机交互专家，科学研究人员和公民合作的有效途径。简而言之，虽然物种正在以惊人的速度消失，但记录物种分布的公民科学家有助于支持保护和教育公众。HCI研究人员可以使公民科学家能够大大增加他们的工作内容和工作方式。
Citizen science broadly describes citizen involvement in science. Citizen science has gained significant momentum in recent years, brought about by widespread availability of smartphones and other Internet and communications technologies (ICT) used for collecting and sharing data. Not only are more projects being launched and more members of the public participating, but more human-computer interaction (HCI) researchers are focusing on the design, development, and use of these tools. Together, citizen science and HCI researchers can leverage each other's skills to speed up science, accelerate learning, and amplify society's well-being globally as well as locally. The focus of this article is on HCI and biodiversity citizen science as seen primarily through the lens of research in the author's laboratory. The article is framed around five topics: community, data, technology, design, and a call to save all species, including ourselves. The article ends with a research agenda that focuses on these areas and identifies productive ways for HCI specialists, science researchers, and citizens to collaborate. In a nutshell, while species are disappearing at an alarming rate, citizen scientists who document species' distributions help to support conservation and educate the public. HCI researchers can empower citizen scientists to dramatically increase what they do and how they do it.
