TRIPLE HELIX

The Public, Third Sector Bodies; Information Industries

Approaches to citizen science: Contributory projects that are designed entirely by scientists and

where participants primarily collect, or in the case of crowd sourcing, analyze data

Collaborative projects which are also designed by scientists, but where participant are involved in more than one stage of the scientific process (perhaps contributing or analyzing data, helping to inform the way in which the questions are addressed or communicating findings)

Co-created projects which are designed collaboratively and where scientists and participants or communities work together in partnership with least some of the volunteer participants involved in most or all steps of the scientific process.

Mendeley: Making research more open and collaborative

“All the time we are very conscious of the huge challenges that human society has now – curing cancer, understanding the brain for Alzheimer‘s.

But a lot of the state of knowledge of the human race is sitting in the scientists’ computers, and is currently not shared. We need to get it unlocked so we can tackle those huge problems.“

shared unlocked

knowledge

..and aggregates research data in the cloud

Mendeley extracts research data..

Conclusions The Triple Helix has been important in:

Encouraging the development of partnerships

Developing a shared language and common framework

Driving change

Science information companies are embedded in science research communities; science research communities are “ a bridge between technologies and companies”
