“…The good level of engagement in CS projects is influenced by the trust they have in the project initiators (Beza et al 2018) and is often driven by non-pecuniary benefits rather than by financial compensation (Jacobs et al 2019). Understanding technological, cultural, and environmental motivators explaining the adoption of CS apps (Cardoso-Andrade et al 2022;Kowler et al 2020) become common objectives. The engagement of volunteers in the research activity does not end with the completion of data collection.…”

The advancements in digital technologies, especially for mobile apps, enabled simplified data collection methods. Consequently, through Citizen Science, numerous opportunities arose for citizens to become contributors and not just beneficiaries of scientific research. Furthermore, through such engagement, citizens can participate in decision-making processes at different spatial scales, getting closer to the civic aspiration of a digital agora. This paper offers a systematic review of 303 studies on such initiatives to outline the potential of mobile apps in Citizen Science. Based distinctly on their specificities and the needs they address, three content categories were highlighted: a) monitoring tools, b) validation of techniques and methods to improve mobile technologies for Citizen Science, and c) participatory approaches of citizens employing mobile apps. The review also showed a susceptibility of several domains of activity towards Citizen Science, such as monitoring biodiversity and reconnecting people with nature, environmental risk monitoring or improving well-being. The findings highlight future research potential in addressing topics such as new technologies to increase Citizen Science performance and its contributions to Open Science, as well as diversification and enhancement of citizen scientists’ contributions.

“…Technological advances are developing so rapidly that they have entered the era of digital technology. These technological developments also impact style, lifestyle, habits, and daily activities (Cardoso-Andrade et al, 2022;Nor et al, 2021;Weisberger, Grinshtan, & Blau, 2021). It does not stop there; technological developments have spread to all fields, including the field of education (Weisberger, Grinshtan, & Blau, 2021;Yuen et al, 2023).…”

Background:Research must certainly have subjects or samples that will be used in the research, including research on mobile phone applications. Research using mobile applications has begun to be widely carried out, so this phenomenon needs to be analysed as to what is ideal among researchers in determining the number of samples used in the research. Objective:This systematic review aims to analyse the sample size and calculation technique used by previous researchers to research mobile phone applications involving nursing students as research samples. Methods:This systematic review took electronic database sources through journal search engines, such as Google Scholar, Pro-Quest, PUBMED, and Science Direct. The criteria for the journals taken were open-access journals published within the last five years (2018–2023). The journal search used the keywords “mobile phone application” and “nursing students." Results: Atotal of six journals had eligibility out of the 18 journals assessed, showing that the largest number of samples used by previous researchers was 256, while the minimum was 25. Conclusion:Whether large or small, the number of samples used in implementing mobile applications among nursing students does not follow existing trends but must be calculated according to a representative portion of the subject population to be studied.

Postdigital Citizen Science and Humanities: A Theoretical Kaleidoscope

This collective article presents a theoretical kaleidoscope, the multiple lenses of which are used to examine and critique citizen science and humanities in postdigital contexts and from postdigital perspectives. It brings together 19 short theoretical and experiential contributions, organised into six loose groups which explore areas and perspectives including Indigenous and local knowledge, technology, and children and young people as citizen researchers. It suggests that this collective approach is appropriate because both postdigital and citizen research are founded on and committed to collaboration, dialogue, and co-creation, as well as challenging the tenets and approaches of traditional academic research. In particular, it suggests that postdigital transformations in contemporary societies are both changing citizen science and humanities and making it more important.
