摘要：
Current literature highlights a wide variety of potential citizen science project outcomes, but no prior studies have systematically assessed performance against a comprehensive set of criteria. A novel framework applied to the Zooniverse platform illustrates how a success matrix can measure both contribution to science and public engagement levels relative to other projects.
