To this end, the aim of this article is to highlight the contributions and influences of Information Science in relation to the potential of Citizen Science for monitoring the SDGs of the 2030 Agenda. Methodologically, the research described has basic characteristics, through a bibliographic survey, since it seeks to identify the current level of knowledge, points of view and new discoveries around the topic addressed, using the data triangulation technique to treat the results. The results show the potential of Citizen Science and the contributions of Information Science, according to researchers and institutions in the field, in relation to the guidelines for implementing the 2030 Agenda. The conclusion is that the potential of Citizen Science, in the light of the contributions and alignment with Information Science, for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, can more effectively guarantee the broad diversity of projects and actions aimed at citizen participation both in scientific research and in achieving global goals.
