    Collective organization of discourse expertise using information technology – CODE IT!
    (it - Information Technology: Vol. 60, No. 1, 2018) Paul, Katharina T.
    This paper offers a short report on a participatory citizen science project and offers some reflections on the lessons learned. In particular, we report on our aims and methods, and the development and use of a web application that we designed to enable a collective analysis of press releases allowing a high number of users. Specifically, we give a brief account of the HTML- and PHP-based platform, which was used to analyze and review press releases on a controversial vaccine.

    Design and implementation of a platform for the citizen science project migraine radar
    (it - Information Technology: Vol. 60, No. 1, 2018) Wogenstein, Florian; Gaul, Charly; Kropp, Peter; Scheidt, Jörg; Siebenhaar, Yannic; Drescher, Johannes
    In this paper we introduce the design and technical implementation of the citizen science project Migraine Radar. The goal of the project is to establish a large collection of migraine attack data in order to explore the trigger factors of migraine attacks. A main focus is the investigation of the influence of environmental factors like weather or changes in the geomagnetic activity on the frequency of migraine attacks. After registering with the project, participants report their migraine attack data using a web app or one of the smartphone apps implemented for Android and iOS. As a benefit, the system serves as a personal headache calendar and participants have access to statistics and individualized reports about their attacks. For scientific analysis the data are pre-processed and provided to the researchers in an anonymized way.

    Mobile learning in environmental citizen science: An initial survey of current practice in Germany
    (it - Information Technology: Vol. 60, No. 1, 2018) Sturm, Ulrike; Moormann, Alexandra; Faber, Astrid
    Citizen science is a growing approach in science and the opportunities of new technologies and learning are considered more and more. We give an overview of the current practice of mobile learning in Germany by conducting an explorative survey among environmental citizen science projects using mobile apps. This study supports the idea that education is relevant in citizen science, and apps affect the learning experience of participants. However, several obstacles were identified that need to be considered, to be able to fully exploit the benefits of mobile learning in citizen science.
