"Citizen Science Skilling for Library Staff, Researchers, and the Public, the first part of the four-part book series named Citizen Science for Research Libraries — A Guide, has been published by the LIBER Citizen Science Working Group.

The guide is designed to be a practical toolbox to help run a citizen science project. It is based on the contributions by members of the research library community and has been thoroughly peer-reviewed. It is based on the LIBER Open Science Roadmap.

[...] 

Citizen science is also a key pillar of open science. The UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science creates, for the first time, consensus on definitions and principles for open science. Citizen science plays a variety of roles in the overall open science endeavour of the democratization of knowledge.

The book can be accessed online here."
