ABSTRACT

The main objective of this study is to detect scientific activities in the field of “water resources management” that include citizen science methods, using a bibliometric approach. The analysis aims at supporting the start of a new science shop based at the University of Brescia, Italy, in the framework of the European SciShops project. As the backdrop for science shops and community-based participatory research initiatives, citizen science is the focus of an increasing number of local, national and international activities, many of which are reported in the scientific literature available in the Web of Science. The results show that studies and publications on this topic, with a participatory perspective, are increasing. Australia, The Netherlands and Spain have a higher production than expected. The scarcity of Italian studies, especially on sustainable urban drainage, shows a promising field of work for future activities of the new science shop at Brescia.

摘要

这项研究的主要目的是使用文献计量法来检测“水资源管理”领域中的科学活动，其中包括公民科学方法。分析的目的是在欧洲SciShops项目的框架内，支持在意大利布雷西亚大学建立新的科学商店。作为科学商店和基于社区的参与性研究计划的背景，公民科学是越来越多的本地，国家和国际活动的焦点，其中许多活动已在Web of Science的科学文献中进行了报道。结果表明，从参与角度出发，有关该主题的研究和出版物正在增加。澳大利亚，荷兰和西班牙的产量高于预期。意大利研究的匮乏，
