Interesting report that serves as a starting point for consultations on what might be called "citizen science". The report covers aspects of open access initiatives (especially with regard to data) in academic publishing, and combines that with lessons that can be learned from blogging and citizen journalism. As the table above shows pretty clearly, you don't get citizen science without open access. Here is the full PDF Report, to which I recommend you turn directly, as the summary does not do it justice.
