本文探讨了学术界与科学研究的新公共形式（我们称之为“公民技术科学”）之间不断变化的关系。公民技术科学利用批判性创造社区中的策略来质疑和改变如何以及谁可以创造可信和可操作的知识。使用两个案例研究的比较。第一个是基层测绘过程，使社区能够生成高质量的航空图像。第二个是一个学术主导的项目，利用环境传感器让不同的受众参与科学实践。人们发现这两个项目在为基于社区的科学形成战略空间的能力方面有所不同，并提出了跨公共学术鸿沟培养更牢固关系的途径。通过改变用于科学研究的材料、文学和社会技术的权力动态，我们认为公民技术科学使公民能够通过批判性制作策略质疑专家知识的生产，并创造产生可信公共科学的机会。
This article explores the changing relationship between the academy and new public formations of scientific research, which we term “civic technoscience.” Civic technoscience leverages tactics seen in critical making communities to question and transform how and who can make credible and actionable knowledge. A comparison of two case studies is used. The first is a grassroots mapping process that allows communities to generate high-quality aerial imagery. The second is an academic-led project using environmental sensors to engage disparate audiences in scientific practice. These two projects were found to differ in their ability to form strategic spaces for community-based science, and suggest pathways to foster more robust relationships across the public–academic divide. By altering power dynamics in material, literary, and social technologies used for scientific research, we argue that civic technoscience enables citizens to question expert knowledge production through critical making tactics, and creates opportunities to generate credible public science.
