Database of Citizen Science Projects for Air Quality Monitoring

Overview This repository contains a curated database of 91 citizen science projects focused on air quality monitoring collected through a systematic review of scientific literature, project reports, websites, and other publicly available sources. The database was developed as part of the study: "Citizen Science Assembling the Social: Configurations of Participation in Air Quality Monitoring Projects" (under review) and covers projects implemented between 1995 and 2025. Repository contents The dataset provides standardized information on: project identification and metadata; geographical distribution and implementation scale; monitored pollutants; sensor engagement configurations (access, ownership, and use of sensing technologies); participation levels based on Haklay's typology; project objectives; project outputs. To facilitate transparency and reuse, the repository includes a codebook describing all variables and controlled vocabularies used in the classification process. The dataset is intended to support comparative analyses of citizen science initiatives, meta-reviews, and the design of future participatory air-quality monitoring projects. Contributing to the Database Citizen science initiatives continue to emerge and evolve rapidly. To ensure that this repository remains an up-to-date resource, researchers, project coordinators, and practitioners are invited to contribute by: submitting new citizen science air-quality monitoring projects; proposing updates or corrections to existing project records. Submissions can be made through the online submission form: https://forms.gle/WaXSggnxLTvWR2ey9 All submissions are reviewed by the repository maintainers before inclusion in future releases of the database.
