ABSTRACT
In the field of science, the concept of crowdsourcing has attracted significant interest. This process involves collaboration between scientists and a group of independently selected individuals with varying knowledge and skills, all engaged in specific research tasks. Crowdsourcing in science has its roots in the broader context of scientific cooperation and dynamic social and technological changes. As it evolves, crowdsourcing finds increasingly diverse applications in generating scientific knowledge. This chapter discusses democratization of science, public participation, scientific openness, scientific cooperation, and technicization of science, with some focus on Science 3.0 and platformization of scientific endeavours.
