公民科学家与希格斯猎人的接触。 org 公民科学项目通过行为、讨论和调查数据分析进行调查。来自 179 个国家的 38,000 多名公民科学家参与其中，对约 39,000 张不同图像的 150 万个感兴趣的特征进行了分类。虽然大多数公民科学家只对少数图像进行分类，但有些科学家对数百甚至数千图像进行了分类。对专门讨论论坛上常用术语的分析表明，高水平的科学参与并不罕见。证据表明公民科学界正在发展一种新兴且独特的技术词汇。一项调查表明，人们对与大型强子对撞机相关的进一步公民科学项目的参与度很高，并且有兴趣。
The engagement of citizen scientists with the HiggsHunters. org citizen science project is investigated through analysis of behaviour, discussion and survey data. More than 38,000 citizen scientists from 179 countries participated, classifying 1.5 million features of interest on about 39,000 distinct images. While most citizen scientists classified only a handful of images, some classified hundreds or even thousands. Analysis of frequently used terms on the dedicated discussion forum demonstrated that a high level of scientific engagement was not uncommon. Evidence was found for an emergent and distinct technical vocabulary developing within the citizen science community. A survey indicates a high level of engagement and an appetite for further citizen science projects related to the Large Hadron Collider.
