CS Track is launching a survey to gather citizen scientists’ (16 year old and older) perspectives on activities and forms of participation, learning and knowledge-building in citizen science (CS) projects. This document presents the information related to data rights, treatment and usage. The aim of CS Track is to broaden our knowledge about CS and the impact CS activities can have. CS Track will do this by investigating a large and diverse set of CS activities, disseminating best practices and formulating knowledge-based policy recommendations in order to maximise the potential benefits of CS activities for individual citizens, organisations and society. This multi-perspective approach will allow us to shed light on the role of citizen science in society and social attitudes and emerging cultures in communities that engage with science and technology challenges.
