Abstract

The aim of this report is to support the Competence Center Citizen Science Zurich (CCCS). Starting out from the point of research oversight in the Swiss context, it gives an overview of existing ethics guidelines in citizen science as promoted by the Citizen Science Association (CSA), the European Citizen Science Association (ECSA) and similar organizations. It highlights the relative lack of attention to ethical governance and processes in current citizen science guidelines and recommends to set up an intra-institutional process to deal with ambiguities in the future.
