At Social Media Week London, 2013 - Mendeley is hosting a Social Science Masterclass on 'How Technology is Changing Research'. In this brief talk, I discuss how Open Access, Open Research, and Open Data are crucial for Citizen Science - all of which are being enabled and empowerd by technology.

2. Citizen science is the involvement
of non-scientists in scientific
research, to tasks perform such as
observation, measurement,
identification or computation.

3. Citizen Cyberscience makes use of
technology tools and platforms, such as the
Web and mobile phones, to enable crowd-
sourced scientific research

4. Open Hardware, the Internet of Things, and
the MakerMovement are opening up many
new possibilities for measurement, data
collection and computation

5. Extreme Citizen Science puts the tools for
Science into the hands of Citizens, who craft
their own projects, in order to make a direct
impact on their world.

6. Just as the web is a democracy, with
knowledge and know-how openly shared,
Citizen Science is also a democratic
movement, requiring equal openness.

7. It is crucial that the resulting Research be
shared openly and accessibly, both in full
and in layman’s terms

8. It is equally crucial that the Data be shared
openly and accessibly, and should ideally be
API’dand linked
