• Description:
  This theoretical paper proposes a framework for how citizen science can be adapted to organizational contexts. Using an "input, process, output" approach, this model proposes organizational factors (e.g., communication channels and styles, and organizational structure) that should be considered when choosing among citizen science approaches (e.g., contributory, collaborative, co-created). The essay identifies possible outcomes for the individual, organization, and larger sector from employing a citizen science approach within an organizational setting. [Description provided by NIOSH]
