Citizen Science is the collection and analysis of data related to the natural world by members of the general public, typically as part of a collaborative project. Crowdsouring is one of the primary implementations of Citizen Science.TheCitizenApp adopts the idea of crowdsourcing for data collection, analysis and making it available and open for future use and further analysis by other organizations. Thus this application is a good example of Citizen Science. | Citizen Science is the collection and analysis of data related to the natural world by members of the general public, typically as part of a collaborative project.

- | This application is not a direct implementation of Green IT. We have implemented some green coding techniques and thus worked towards achieving “Green IT”.The Citizen App utilizes Cloud Computing for computing implementing efficient resource utilization. At the same time, our application has more to do with “IT for Green”. As a collaboration platform which utilizes crowdsourcing the application is a propitious interface for Knowledge Management. This application could be used to increase people’s comfort in every aspect of their life. Moreover, | + | |
