In the past two decades, citizen science (also called participatory or community-based monitoring) has gained popularity. Motivated by its novelty and the emerging statistical issues it brings forth, the Royal Statistical Society Discussion Paper Meetings Committee, Emerging Applications Section, and Environmental Statistics Section are inviting submissions of discussion papers on the analysis of citizen science data.
Papers selected for publication will be presented at a multi-paper discussion meeting held during the RSS International Conference in Brighton, UK, in September of 2024 and subsequently published in the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. All submitted papers will be refereed, both for their scientific quality and potential to generate discussion.
Authors are invited to send a single-page abstract (400-word maximum) of their proposed paper to Judith Shorten, the RSS journals manager, by June 30.
