The PhD research looks at the ways in which citizen data science can be used to advance the public good. It is a meta-research project which involves looking at mass collaborations in social sciences. For example looking at services like FixMyStreet, Humanitarian OpenStreetMap, and other crowd sourced data sources and how they compare to more conventional data in terms of criteria such as openness and accuracy. I also am interested in evaluating the benefits for participants in these projects, in particular the usefulness of citizen science projects in schools for widening participation in science. I also look at how citizen science can become a more open science by looking at issues such as data licensing for distributed data collection, visual documentation for greater inclusion of low literacy groups, and open sourced software for citizen science projects that rely upon smartphone applications.

博士研究着眼于公民数据科学可以用来促进公共利益的方式。这是一个元研究项目，涉及社会科学中的大规模合作。例如，查看FixMyStreet、Humanitarian OpenStreetMap和其他众包数据源等服务，以及它们如何在开放性和准确性等标准方面与更传统的数据进行比较。我也有兴趣评估这些项目的参与者的利益，特别是在学校的公民科学项目的有用性，以扩大科学的参与。我还研究了公民科学如何通过研究分布式数据收集的数据许可证，更大程度地纳入低文化水平群体的视觉文档以及依赖智能手机应用程序的公民科学项目的开源软件等问题，成为一门更加开放的科学。
