Abstract
Zooniverse is the world’s largest online platform for citizen science. At Zooniverse, scientists and researchers across a variety of disciplines—from astronomy to zoology to the digital humanities—can upload their collections of thousands of images, text files, or audio files, and anyone, regardless of background, age, or location, can answer a series of short questions to help the research teams classify and process their data. Citizen science is amazingly effective: With many people looking at each piece of datum, researchers can synthesize and study their data much faster than if they were to work alone.
