ABSTRACT
Previous CSCW studies on citizen science have focused on supporting data collection, rather than data sharing among a wider audience. Here we describe the process by which citizen science data are collaboratively shared by individual and organizational social actors. Three sets of collabora-tive efforts are essential for enabling data to travel through the online environments: creating shareable data, assuring data quality, and setting up data sharing partnerships.
