Citizen science opens the scientific knowledge production process to societal actors. In this novel collaboration process, scientists and citizens alike face the challenge of new tasks and functions, eventually resulting in changing roles. Role theory provides a way of conceptualizing the roles that people take in communication and interaction. We use role theory to create a framework that identifies scientists' and citizens' tasks in citizen science projects, main aims of communication, spaces they interact in, and their roles — thus providing a structured way to capture communication and interaction in and about CS for further scientific reflection and practical application.

解构公民科学：使用角色概念的沟通和互动框架

公民科学向社会参与者开放了科学知识生产过程。在这个新颖的协作过程中，科学家和公民都面临着新任务和新功能的挑战，最终导致角色发生变化。角色理论提供了一种概念化人们在沟通和互动中所扮演角色的方法。我们使用角色理论创建了一个框架，该框架确定了科学家和公民在公民科学项目中的任务、交流的主要目标、他们互动的空间以及他们的角色——从而提供了一种结构化的方式来捕捉 CS 中和关于 CS 的交流和互动进一步的科学反思和实际应用。
