Abstract

Citizen science (CS) is an umbrella term for research with a significant amount of contributions from volunteers. Those volunteers can occupy a hybrid role, being both 'researcher' and 'subject' at the same time. This has repercussions for questions about responsibility and credit, e.g. pertaining to the issue of authorship. In this paper, we first review some existing guidelines for authorship and their applicability to CS. Second, we assess the claim that the guidelines from the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), known as 'the Vancouver guidelines', may lead to exclusion of deserving citizen scientists as authors. We maintain that the idea of including citizen scientists as authors is supported by at least two arguments: transparency and fairness. Third, we argue that it might be plausible to include groups as authors in CS. Fourth and finally, we offer a heuristic list of seven recommendations to be considered when deciding about whom to include as an author of a CS publication.

作者身份与公民科学:七条启发式规则
公民科学(CS)是有大量志愿者参与的研究的总称。这些志愿者可以扮演混合角色,既是 "研究者 "又是 "研究对象"。这对责任和信用问题产生了影响,例如与作者身份有关的问题。在本文中,我们首先回顾了作者身份的一些现有准则及其对 CS 的适用性。其次,我们评估了国际医学期刊编辑委员会(ICMJE)的指导方针(即 "温哥华指导方针")可能导致公民科学家被排除在作者之外的说法。我们认为,让公民科学家成为作者的想法至少有两个论据支持:透明度和公平性。第三,我们认为在 CS 中吸收团体作为作者是可行的。第四也是最后一点,我们提出了一份启发式清单,其中包括七项建议,供在决定将哪些人列为 CS 出版物的作者时参考。

期刊介绍: Science and Engineering Ethics is an international multidisciplinary journal dedicated to exploring ethical issues associated with science and engineering, covering professional education, research and practice as well as the effects of technological innovations and research findings on society. While the focus of this journal is on science and engineering, contributions from a broad range of disciplines, including social sciences and humanities, are welcomed. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, ethics of new and emerging technologies, research ethics, computer ethics, energy ethics, animals and human subjects ethics, ethics education in science and engineering, ethics in design, biomedical ethics, values in technology and innovation. We welcome contributions that deal with these issues from an international perspective, particularly from countries that are underrepresented in these discussions.
