The societal impact of Open Science: a scoping review

Royal Society Open Science, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 11(6)

Published: June 1, 2024

Open Science (OS) aims, in part, to drive greater societal impact of academic research. Government, funder and institutional policies state that it should further democratize research increase learning awareness, evidence-based policy-making, the relevance society's problems, public trust Yet, measuring OS has proven challenging synthesized evidence is lacking. This study fills this gap by systematically scoping existing driven its various aspects, including Citizen (CS), Access (OA), Open/FAIR Data (OFD), Code/Software others. Using PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews searches conducted Web Science, Scopus relevant grey literature, we identified 196 studies contain impact. The majority concern CS, with some focused on OA, only a few addressing other aspects. Key areas found are education climate environment, social engagement. We no literature documenting OFD limited terms policy, health, Our findings demonstrate critical need additional suggest practical policy implications.

Hybrid Intelligence for Marine Biodiversity: Integrating Citizen Science with AI for Enhanced Intertidal Conservation Efforts at Cape Santiago, Taiwan

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(1), P. 454 - 454

Published: Jan. 4, 2024

Marine biodiversity underpins the formation of marine protected areas (MPAs), necessitating detailed surveys to account for dynamic temporal and spatial distribution species influenced by tidal patterns microhabitats. The reef rock intertidal zones adjacent urban centers, such as Taiwan’s Cape Santiago, exhibit significant biodiversity, yet they are increasingly threatened tourism-related activities. This study introduces an artificial intelligence (AI)-empowered citizen science (CS) approach within local community address these challenges. By integrating CS with AI, we establish a hybrid (HI) system that conducts in situ biological educational programs focused on ecological conservation. initiative not only facilitates collective gathering AI-assisted analysis critical data but also uses machine-learning outputs gauge quality, thus informing subsequent collection refinement strategies. resulting collectivity iterative enhancement foster mutual continuous HI learning environment. Our model proves instrumental fostering engagement public involvement endeavors, cultivating skills necessary documenting rocky shifts. These efforts pivotal design governance future MPAs, ensuring their efficacy sustainability

Towards a collaborative stakeholder engagement pathway to increase ocean sustainability related to marine spatial planning in developing coastal states

Environmental Challenges, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15, P. 100954 - 100954

Published: April 1, 2024

With the increased emphasis on charting ocean sustainability narratives, marine spatial planning (MSP) is envisioned as a key tenet. MSPs emphasize systematic and collaborative management of space (resources activities) for benefit all users. Regions that have implemented MSP based stakeholder engagement are progressively realizing better outcomes. Unfortunately, in developing coastal states, progress toward largely pedestrian has attracted less interest. This partly due to archaic coastal/marine resource models dominated by few powerful stakeholders. worsened increasing human-environmental shocks, which creating bleak futures. Our study systematically sourced 12,316 documents from Scopus were analyzed using bibliometrics (i) conduct performance analysis, (ii) scientific mapping analysis (iii) identify game-changing developments can drive sustainability.

The impact of citizen science on environmental attitudes, environmental knowledge, environmental awareness to pro–environmental citizenship behaviour

International Journal of Sustainable Engineering, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 17(1), P. 1 - 19

Published: May 21, 2024

Pro-environmental behaviour is worth researching to understand the relationship between consumer behaviours and environmentally friendly consumptions. This research aims investigate impact of citizen science on pro-environmental citizenship when environmental attitude, knowledge, awareness intermediaries in an emerging market like Thailand. The sample 394 Thai citizens was collected from main provinces different regions Thailand, including Bangkok, Khon Kaen, Lamphun, Phuket. PLS-SEM employed test study hypotheses by applying structural equation modelling approach analyse data. findings show that there a positive awareness, knowledge towards behaviour. also reveals these mediated relationships play pivotal role translating consciousness into actionable support sustainable use consumption. Furthermore, increased plays crucial recognising urgency importance engaging practices. Awareness acts as catalyst, prompting individuals reflect their consumption patterns lifestyle choices, ultimately leading more behaviours. Marketers may implement it with green marketing strategies increasing favourable products within consumers.

Butterfly Diversity in a Rapidly Developing Urban Area: A Case Study on a University Campus

Diversity, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 16(1), P. 4 - 4

Published: Dec. 21, 2023

University campuses, as small and isolated areas of rapidly growing urban areas, can provide a unique opportunity for biodiversity research, conservation, education, citizen science by monitoring assemblages butterflies within their areas. We surveyed butterfly in developing area represented the Chenggong Campus Yunnan southwestern China using Pollard walk method. In total, 3625 individuals belonging to 50 species, 35 genera, six families were recorded this survey. The results showed that Pieridae Nymphalidae are with highest species richness on campus, family Riodinidae contained fewest species. Pieris rapae was most common seven assessed IUCN Red List recorded. Butterfly community structure varied across habitats seasons diversity higher spring autumn than it summer winter, well being road scenic habitats. Unavoidable urbanisation activities (construction, green space planning, etc.) may have influenced composition butterflies, conserving requires balance between planning habitat diversity. Finally, we encourage universities research institutions develop platforms scientists participate in.
