At SciStarter, we aim to reach people where they are and connect them to opportunities to do and shape science through citizen science projects in need of their help. If someone wants to promote or recruit participants for their project, event, or tool, they register it on SciStarter. Our editors review each record before publishing it. Once it's published, it can be shared with our partners (including CitSci.org, the Atlas of Living Australia, the U.S. Federal inventory of projects, and others listed below) who export or import records with our database. We do this through APIs we've developed to make it easier for project owners to add, update, and share their projects across websites. (If you have a database of citizen science projects, events, or tools you'd like to link into this system, please access the API documentation here.) We also bring citizen science to the public through strategic editorial and marketing partnerships with organizations, aligned with our mission, already reaching millions of people. Here's how: Our syndicated blog network enables us to share news about projects, people, and perspectives on a weekly basis, far beyond the reach of our website, newsletter, events and social media outreach:
Citizen Science Salon, the blog you are reading right now, is a joint project of SciStarter and Discover Magazine! As you well know, this is where we feature weekly collaborative, crowdsourced, and DIY research projects that relate to what millions of you are reading about in Discover, so you can take action and take science into you own hands! Community: general science enthusiasts.
