Why this matters: Citizen involvement can expand data and trust, but quality and interpretation require safeguards. The central tension is between opening research to public participation and keeping methods under professional supervision. Please contribute examples, trade-offs and lessons that can help others make better decisions. Discussion safeguard: Distinguish evidence, hypothesis and opinion. Do not invent studies, statistics, citations or scientific consensus.
