在线公民科学项目已经证明了它们对研究的用处，但对志愿者的潜在好处知之甚少。我们进行了39次访谈(28名志愿者，11名研究人员)，以更好地了解志愿者的动机、学习和创造力(MLC)。在我们的MLC模型中，我们解释说，在项目社区中参与和进步为志愿者提供了许多间接的学习和创造力的机会。志愿者参与的方面越多，他们就越有可能持续参与项目。这些结果对在线公民科学项目的设计和管理具有一定的指导意义。重要的是为用户提供交流工具，以支持社会学习、社区建设和分享。
Online citizen science projects have demonstrated their usefulness for research, however little is known about the potential benefits for volunteers. We conducted 39 interviews (28 volunteers, 11 researchers) to gain a greater understanding of volunteers' motivations, learning and creativity (MLC). In our MLC model we explain that participating and progressing in a project community provides volunteers with many indirect opportunities for learning and creativity. The more aspects that volunteers are involved in, the more likely they are to sustain their participation in the project. These results have implications for the design and management of online citizen science projects. It is important to provide users with tools to communicate in order to supporting social learning, community building and sharing.
