The social sciences and humanities contributions to citizen science: insights from the COESO project journey

This document is a summary report from the COESO project work, taking stock of desk research, field learnings and community feedback collected during its preparation (2018–2020) and its implementation (January 2021-December 2023) phases. The COESO project was coordinated by a research performing organization focused on social sciences and humanities (SSH) research – the French École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales – and a French research infrastructure committed to fostering scholarly communication and open science in the SSH – OpenEdition. The main outcome of the project – the Virtual Ecosystem for Research Activation (VERA) – is now part of the portfolio of services of the European research infrastructure OPERAS.
