Abstract

Objective: The goal of this study is to create a Taxonomy for Citizen Science, classifying and categorizing concepts related to the area.
Methodology: The research used the Knowledge Development Process Constructivist (ProKnow-C) methodology, which involves selecting a bibliographic portfolio and analyzing the concepts. The process includes three phases: bibliographic portfolio formation, filtering, and representativeness testing. The search focused on terminologies related to Citizen Science, using keywords such as Citizen Science, Participatory Decision Making, Civic Technologies, and Citizen Innovation.
Results: The systemic analysis identified gaps in the literature and proposed five new concepts for the Open Science Taxonomy. These concepts are: Amateur Scientists, Community Scientists, High-Tech Science, Participatory Mapping, and Machine Learning.
Conclusions: The terminologies identified in this study contribute to the broadening of knowledge about citizen science and highlight the relevance of citizen participation in the scientific process. The proposed Taxonomy facilitates understanding and communication between researchers and professionals involved in the field, reinforcing the importance of collaboration between scientists and citizens for the advancement of science.
