New information technologies and citizen science
The projects of scientific crowdsourcing in their deve-lopment are increasingly based on new specialized developments in in-formation technology (IT). Sustainable computerized projects of scientific crowdsourcing in recent years have been characterized by the term «citizen cyberscience». IT-is recognized that citizen cyberscience comp-rises three directions: voluntary computing, volunteer thinking and cooperative sensing. The paper deals with new specialized IT-products to support each of these three areas. For example, voluntary calculation projects rely on new distributed computing algorithms. Volunteer thinking projects require the development and support of site platforms, forums, training sessions for volunteer participants as well as open databases and specialized digital libraries. Cooperative sensing projects require the development of mobile applications for participants' smartphones, as well as algorithms to handle large amounts of data. Notably, IT is often the process of developing IT-products that themselves act as objects of crowdsourcing projects.
