TL;DR: The authors apply a novel framework for assessing citizen science projects against multiple dimensions of success to a sample of projects that form part of the online Zooniverse platform and position these projects against a success matrix that measures both contribution to science and public engagement levels relative to other projects in the sample.

TL;DR: This article investigated the development of scientific content knowledge of volunteers participating in online citizen science projects in the Zooniverse (www.zooniverse.org), including the astronomy projects Galaxy Zoo (wwwgalaxyzoo.org) and Planet Hunters (wwwplanethunters.org).

TL;DR: The authors argue that the exploration of gaming as well as play provides evidence that contributing to citizen science projects can be both utilitarian and hedonic.

TL;DR: In this article, an ethnographic study was conducted to examine how participants of citizen science projects demonstrate aspects of gamified behaviour, defined as user generated play in a digital platform and contrasts to incidents of "gamification" where a platform designer purposely embeds games into a computer platform.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a methodological technique, described as creative prototyping, that has at its heart, the capability to enable full stakeholder inclusivity into the future imagining of the smart city.
