It even adds dissemination, which I had not initially included but which may be appropriate. What I like about this one is that it includes the a brief, but concise and encompassing range of activities citizen scientists perform. '.scientific activities in which non-professional scientists volunteer to participate in data collection, analysis and dissemination of a scientific project.' The second definition is more of a description, and comes from the Po Ve Sham blog of Muki Haklay (who is apparently writing a book chapter on citizen science in GIS - Geographic Information Sciences):

I'll have much more on this in future posts (after doing some more research) as it's an exciting new area for potential growth.

Examples are data collection projects that base raffle-style drawings based on the amount of data each user collects, or which offers prizes for hitting certain levels of participation. Instead rewards are used to incentivize the collection of data that may not be a goal in and of itself, but which is needed for others to fulfill the scientific goal. Similar to Challenge projects they use profit as a motive, but don't use it to spur innovation. Not only will it help science generally but it will also help overcome the monetization problem needed to make citizen science increasingly mainstream and incorporate citizen scientists more firmly in the corporate science environment. But I expect to see them in the future and think this is an exciting area for future development in the field. I haven't talked much about Bounty projects on this site since there haven't been many good examples of them developed so far. These would also be excluded from a volunteer-based definition.

There are also projects that rely on profit motives for the collection of data.I term these 'Bounty' projects. Even further, they recognize that key insights to problems may come from outside the established scientific community (or at least from outside the targeted discipline). For starters, many of the Challenge-type projects (such as the Innocentive project or the Ansari X Prizes) rely on profit motives to encourage participation and to inspire innovation. Certainly there is a hobby or avocational aspect of citizen science, but making money from scientific contributions should not be ruled out. The main issue I have with this entry is the use of the term 'volunteer'. 'A citizen scientist is a volunteer who collects and/or processes data as part of a scientific enquiry.'
