Reaching the limits of co-creation in citizen science, exemplified by the linguistic citizen humanities project 'On everyone’s mind and lips – German in Austria'

Beschreibung

Co-creation aims at integrating citizens in the entire research process. The citizen linguistics
project German in Austria tests this approach in the humanities based on the assumption
that language is ubiquitous. The project combines different forms of public participation, including a co-created format, where citizens can raise (and answer) research questions about the German language in Austria and a linguistic treasure hunt, where citizens collect and analyse data on linguistic landscapes. However, co-creation was hard to implement. Although the number of participants was higher, their willingness to contribute to more than one research step was lower compared to the treasure hunts.
