About
In the last few years, several citizen science projects have been very successful in introducing and engaging the public in authentic research. Citizen scientists continue to be a valuable asset in helping scientists tackle large data sets and extract useful information to solve some exciting mysteries of the universe. This review includes contributions from several ongoing citizen science initiatives across the globe, with an aim to encourage participation in various projects and even motivate anyone who wants to set up their own citizen science projects.
