Abstract
The study in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health by Erika Molteni and colleagues1 illustrates the potential and challenges of what has been termed citizen science. Since 1995, a growing number of research projects involving non-scientists have been carried out under this heading.2 In these projects, participants might variously perform scientific calculations on their home computer (ie, calculating), record biodiversity observations (ie, sensing), analyse scientific images (ie, analysing), perform their own laboratory experiments (ie, making), or share health-related information (ie, self-reporting).
