The Association for Advancing Participatory Sciences (AAPS) is a member-driven organization that connects people from a wide range of experiences around one shared purpose: advancing knowledge through research and monitoring done by, for, and with members of the public. We are a repository of resources, best practices, and discussions. AAPS is also the home of the open-access, peer-reviewed journal Citizen Science: Theory and Practice, published by Ubiquity Press on behalf of the Association. Our annual conferences bring attention to cutting-edge and evidence-based practices from many contexts, and connect people from across those contexts to highlight areas of innovation, share ideas and insights, and forge stronger relationships and practices across the field.
