The ECSA (European Citizen Science Association) working group “Citizen Science Networks” is developing a set of criteria to help coordinators of citizen science (CS) platforms decide, in a transparent and impartial way, if a project should be listed on their platforms or not.  

In this public consultation, we would like to ask you to grade each of the seven criteria as a "must-have", a "nice-to-have" or a "not necessary" criterion for projects to be published on a CS portal such as medborgarforskning.se – the Swedish national portal for citizen science.

Thank you very much for your help!

About the criteria:
In the course of three years the ECSA working group “Citizen Science Networks” developed this catalogue of measurable criteria for projects wanting to be listed on national citizen science platforms. During the development, the working group actively involved citizen science project managers and experts, as well as citizen scientists to make the criteria as inclusive as possible without stifling innovation or flexibility of projects. The aim is to present the final version of the criteria at the ECSA 2022 conference.

All criteria, along with guidelines on how to apply them in practice, can be found at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vzKCuKE2EDIfYsTveX8Q_24GfyU7dHUhsISEOP-GKYg/edit?usp=sharing
