This page contains links to resources and networks that might be helpful in various ways to citizen science researchers and other university staff. Networks are great ways to find new collaborators and exchange knowledge. Practical guides for planning and implementing citizen science projects might be most useful to researchers exploring citizen science as a methodology for the first time. And the links to resource repositories may prove useful to anyone.
