Prototype of the Citizens Science Concepts

This prototype of the Citizens Science Concepts describes the planning workflow of citizen science projects, in particular the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for citizen data collection campaigns, which cover 12 different steps from defining the project goal to post-project activities. The SOP for citizen data collection campaigns has been established, focusing on clear goals, activities, expected data, and stakeholder characterization, in collaboration with e.g. pilot cities for CityCLIM project. Each step is explained shortly and questions are defined. These questions will help people planning CS projects to consider all aspects of such pro-jects and incorporate them into their plans. Additionally, the findings of the questionnaire given to participants in the pilot cities are explained and provide credence to a few key workflow points.
