Narratives as a mode of research evaluation in citizen science: Understanding broader science communication impacts (2017)
Journal Article
Roberts, E., & Constant, N. (2017). Narratives as a mode of research evaluation in citizen science: Understanding broader science communication impacts. Journal of Science Communication, 16(4),
