Context The contribution of volunteers in recording invasive alien species (IAS) has been fostered by technological developments such as social media, apps, low-cost sensors, search engines and predictive analytics. These technology developments, an increased attention to citizen science and a cultural change towards collaboration and openness in research within the policy agenda should increase the contribution of volunteer recording. Within the framework of the COST Action CA17122 Increasing Understanding of Alien Species through Citizen Science (Roy et al. 2018) a group of researchers explored the value of emerging technologies for citizen science in the context of alien species, recognizing the contribution of volunteers and reviewing their potential to engage broad audiences, motivate volunteers, improve data collection, increase data quality etc. Survey The following criteria were then used to evaluate the potential of these technologies for alien species citizen science through a dedicated survey: ● Audience: the technology can attract new target audiences for IAS citizen science and/or support more inclusivity in IAS citizen science (can overcome inequalities in participation, attract under-privileged audiences/those underrepresented in the scientific enterprise, allow participation of sensory/cognitive/otherwise impaired...) ● Engagement with others: the technology supports better connections with other participants, helpful in building a community ● Engagement via f...
