Summary:

This How-to Guide explores what a participatory, citizen-sourced digital data research project is, how this method can be used for social science research, and in which contexts it is suitable to implement such an approach. Additionally, it describes a general structure and a set of considerations for planning and developing research based on this method. This guide concentrates primarily on understanding the motivations of the roles involved in the project (scientists and citizens); defining what data to collect and what strategies to use for normalizing and standardizing such data; choosing and preparing an adequate data-gathering digital platform that fits the needs of a project; and communicating, giving feedback, and evaluating the development of a research project.
