Software tools that used in Citizen science were discussed

The latest achievements of  information technology and software engineering plays an important role in the formation of e-science.  Through the use of open source software tools that are available in this area, it is possible to achieve effective c development of citizen science without time and financial loss.

These thoughts were expressed by the Colleague of institute  Nargis Verdiyeva  at the seminar of  No. 3 Department.

Citizen science is sometimes described as "public participation in scientific research," participatory monitoring and participatory action research.

Speaking about the factors that characterize civil science N.Verdiyev  said that these factors  were characterized with broad spatial and temporal dimensions, large-scale data collection and research mechanisms developed at the  highest level .

The speaker presented the tools  that  influence the development of civil science. For this purpose,  "Google maps", "Google charts", "Fieldscope" services are used  in social networking , data collection, storage processing facilities, visualization and analysis and latest achieves  of software engineering  are used in   the creation of data bases and data management.

 In the end, there was an exchange of views on the subject, many questions were answered.
