    Research often involves teams of scientists collaborating across continents. Now, using the power of the Internet, non-specialists are participating, too. Citizen Science falls into many categories. A pioneering project was SETI@Home, which has harnessed the idle computing time of millions of participants in the search for extraterrestrial life. Citizen scientists also act as volunteer classifiers of heavenly objects, such as in Galaxy Zoo. They make observations of the natural world, as in The Great Sunflower Project. And they even solve puzzles to design proteins, such as FoldIt. We'll add projects regularly-and please tell us about others you like as well.

    Participation of people can get plenty of help.

    People do not specializing in scientific topics can serve giving his opinion, collecting data, etc. as mentioned in this article http://www.incytde.org/incytde/content/ciencia-citizen, several projects that have come forward through the 'citizen science'.

    Other projects such as:

    http://scistarter.com/index.html
    http://www.cienciapr.org/
    http://lhcathome2.cern.ch/test4theory/
    http://forestwatchers.net/
    http://crowdcrafting.org/


    They also make use of this new "science".

    De la participación de la gente se puede obtener bastante ayuda. La gente no especializada en temas científicos puede servir dando su opinión, recabando datos, etc. como se menciona en este artículo http://www.incytde.org/incytde/content/ciencia-ciudadana, existen varios proyectos que han salido adelante gracias a la 'ciencia ciudadana'.

    Otros proyectos como:

    http://forestwatchers.net/

    Citizen Science is very good opportunity to General public to participate in real research as amateur scientist. I heard NASA has such projects where citizen can participate in their projects. amateur Scientist are the one's who works in research locations. It's great and enthusiastic opportunity which says that research is collaborative effort.
