   В статье на примере различных онлайн-инициатив гражданской науки рассматриваются вопросы цифровизации научного волонтерства и перспективы цифровизации данной отрасли. Проблема эффективности цифровых технологий для реализации проектов гражданской науки рассматривается в контексте опыта реализации конкретных программразличных волонтерских проектов в этой сфере. В статье представлен анализ сайтов, документов и активности пяти исследовательских проектов в сфере гражданской науки по техническим, естественно-научным и гуманитарным инициативам. Проведенное исследование позволило определить позитивную роль цифровизации гражданской науки. Однако проблематика цифровых разрывов, как и недостаточная цифровизация проектов гражданской науки, создают барьеры для реализации в полной мере подобных проектов, которые также носят и значительную образовательную функцию. При этом в исследовании отмечается важная роль создания сетей подобных проектов и расширения участия в таких проектов большого круга заинтересованных лиц, что будет способствовать планомерному и структурному развитию цифровых инициатив гражданской науки в будущем. Особую значимость для развития подобных инициатив приобретает и привлечение волонтеров, а также различных заинтересованных лиц, и расширение участия в таких инициативах участников из небольших городов, и создание доступности таких проектов.

   The article examines the digitalization issues of scientific volunteering and the digitalization prospects of this industry using the example of various online initiatives of citizen science. The effectiveness problem of digital technologies for the implementation of citizen science projects is considered in the context of the experience of implementing specific programs of various volunteer projects in this area. The article analyzes the websites, documents and activity of five research projects in the field of citizen science on technical, natural science and humanitarian initiatives. The conducted research made it possible to determine the positive role of citizen science digitalization. However, the problems of digital gaps, as well as the insufficient digitalization of citizen science projects, create barriers to the full implementation of such projects, which also have a significant educational function. At the same time, the study also notes the important role of creating networks of such projects and expanding the large range participation of interested persons in such projects, which will contribute to the systematic and structural development of citizen science digital initiatives in the future. Of particular importance for the development of such initiatives is the volunteers’ involvement, as well as various interested persons, and the participation expansion in such initiatives of participants from small towns and the accessibility creation of such projects.
