Andrea Spasiano (born 1987) is a research fellow at WARREDOC—Unversità per Stranieri di Perugia—and a PhD student at Università degli Studi della Tuscia. He graduated in Historical Sciences with specialization in Geography and GIS at Università Roma Tre in 2014. After his Masters in Cultural Heritage Management, he has collaborated with WARREDOC since 2018 on the topic of open data and GIS for landscape monitoring and assessment. Andrea is actually pursuing a PhD program in Economics and Management at Tuscia University. In addition to the application of GIS in landscape planning, his research interests include citizen science and online communities' engagement in water and environmental resource management.
This work intends to lay the foundations for a theoretical framework of citizen science combining social and organizational implications with the support of information technologies. The proposed theoretical framework moves towards a shared and common research process between experts and citizens to deal with environmental and social challenges. The role and capacity of online communities is explored and their engagement capacity by means of web-based digital platforms supporting crowdsourcing activities. In this contribution, authors highlight the most common practices, methods and issues of citizen science approaches adopted from multidisciplinary application fields to obtain insights for designing a new participative approach for organizational studies. To reach this goal, authors illustrate the results of a systematic meta-review analysis, consisting of an accurate selection and revision of journal review articles in order to highlight concepts, methods, research design approaches and tools adopted in citizen science approaches.
