Citizen science reports

The traditional method of publishing scientific knowledge is via the peer-reviewed journals. However, many worthwhile reports of field and laboratory experiments do not satisfy the rather restrictive requirements of conventional scientific journals. This page offers a repository for any group, naturalist or scientist affiliated with a member group and who has information that deserves to be shared with the world. For further information about citizen science including a list of current projects, check the website of the Australian Citizen Science Association.

Publication here does not necessarily prevent the author from later packaging the material for submission to a scholarly journal, as this site is not deemed to be ‘prior scientific publication’; however, the editor of the targeted scholarly journal would have the final say on this and should be consulted if the author aspires to refereed publication.
