ALT Graphic reads "Try to increase the educational impact of Citizen Science by providing training to project participants, developing CS activities that can be incorporated into school curricula or study programmes, and offering some form of accreditation to reflect skills and knowledge gained through participation."

ALT Graphic reads "When describing and explaining your project to (prospective) participants, try to be as clear as possible about the activities that are planned and about what makes these activities ‘Citizen Science’."

ALT Graphic reads "Ask participants about their motivations and expectations, invite them to provide feedback at various stages of the project, and acknowledge (and, if possible, implement) their suggestions. Such participatory evaluation can help bring the objectives and priorities of project coordinators and project participants into closer alignment, build trust, and reduce power imbalances."
