Research Seminar: 'Peer-produced knowledge repository for Personal Science' by Bastian Tzovaras

Peer-produced knowledge repository for Personal Science

Derived from 22 semi-structured interviews with Personal Science practitioners to better understand motivations, goals and values of the Open Humans self-research community, we are now collaboratively and iteratively designing a wiki-based knowledge repository for this emergent area of citizen science. Following action research and design-thinking principles, and in parallel to producing academic knowledge about this transdisciplinary context, the main aim of the "Personal Science Wiki" under development is to collectively collect, describe and improve useful resources for Personal Science practitioners - from self-tracking tools to n-of-1 research protocols, as well as inspirational examples of self-experimentation.
