How can services for research organizations assist and develop practices for wider participation in research? What do the researchers need? How can different kinds of needs be met? Welcome to join, ask and reflect, researchers, experts and managers of information services and research libraries!
Citizen Science, Engaged Science, Participatory Science, Collaborative Research. Many expressions for one cluster of phenomena for research, where all researchers don’t have scholarly training. What kind of practices and involvements exist in such research?
