Short description

Wikipedia, Wikidata and OpenStreetMap are existing Citizen Science tools, structured to allow measuring, evaluating, planning and communicating the impact of citizens’ contribution and the effects of open research. Wikidata, Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap are the largest participatory open and multilingual projects ever created. They activate communities, they use Open Science, they produce content, data and infrastructures, which are available to anyone (20 billion views per month and reused for services and products); furthermore they are huge repositories that document edits, references, uploads and participatory dynamics. This workshop presents and discusses strategies to rely on Wikipedia, Wikidata and OpenStreetMap to trigger impact-oriented Citizen Science and to assess it through information design.
