CitSci.org

CitSci.org is a website that supports the online needs of citizen science projects. At CitSci.org, you create your own projects where trained volunteers and scientists together answer local, regional, and global questions, inform natural resource decisions, advance scientific understanding, and improve environmental education. We provide tools to empower you and your participants to ask questions, select methods, submit data, analyze data, and share results.

As your partner in research, CitSci.org provides tools for the entire research process including: creating new projects, managing project members, building custom data sheets, analyzing collected data, and gathering participant feedback.

Citizen science empowers individuals to pursue their interests in the scientific world through developing and implementing projects using the scientific method. As a member of CitSci.org, you are encouraged to investigate your own scientific questions or jump on board as a volunteer for an existing project.
