the Journal of Citizen Science and Working Memory

Truly Public Knowledge

The Journal of Citizen Science and Working Memory creates a global collective intelligence network for scientific consensus. JCSWM links researchers by the internet, bypassing universities, colleges, and journals to create a network of observers with unlimited potential. 

By posting reports in JCSWM, citizen scientists submit their research to the peer review of the global citizen research community. The community is actively and passively moderated to ensure the cleanest, clearest signal between researchers, and NTARI's crowdfunded model ensures you will never see an advertisement. 

JCSWM fundraises to maintain its database and train citizens in the scientific method by issuing grants to scientific institutions (libraries, observatories, clinics, community centers, etc.) to train five local patrons at a time, for one month. The resulting media is then added to the JCSWM database.

Institutions submit an epistemology (a history and explanation) of the scientific method as their application for funding. Once funded, you must teach a one month workshop with five patrons selected by raffle. During the workshop, you should expect to convey to patrons your version of the scientific method and each patron will select a subject to study using your formula. You should then guide patrons to produce multimedia documentation of their research. Submissions that successfully adhere to the method will be awarded $1,000 for their scholarship and their work will be added to the JCSWM database. 

From these two types of media-- epistemological arguments of scientific method and patron research -- the Institute analyzes what makes for good scientific method and how the constraints of method effect researcher expressions. The result is a continuous-focused conversation toward a scientific consensus, based on the observations of the entire network. Our hope is the nations of the world will realize the imprtance of EVERY human's ability to properly apply their senses and share information in community. It all starts here
