Community-based scientific culture, citizen science, public understanding of science, Long COVID, post-normal scienceAbstract
Despite some scattered precedents and exceptions, there is an evident gap in the literature on the concept of community-based scientific culture. By this we refer to situations in which citizens perceive a problem, come together, organise, communicate, and pool their resources to search for, evaluate and produce scientific knowledge to address the problem. In this paper, we propose a characterisation of community-based scientific culture. Subsequently, we apply and contrast it to the case of groups of people affected by long COVID. The methodology used was based on documentary analysis.
