Citizen Data Generation.

This paper studies the strategies citizens (and intereseted institutional actors) have justified the role of lay people i producing data on environmental issues.

According to the paper the strategies have worked as the conclusions are that * taking citizen science serious is a governmental obligation This is achieved by showing the scientific strenght and thus 'contributory' potential for CGD.

I added quotes on contributory, because that is a conclusion that follows evidently from the scientific strenght. It would be interesting to see how much scientific data would hold up if it had to be shown scientific strength.
