The expanding definition of what constitutes credible, relevant and legitimate knowledge is leading to the democratisation of knowledge and efforts to address historical inequities in access to knowledge . This is reflected in the communication of science, which is increasingly focused on reducing the distance between internal scientific and public communication and more engagement in public science governance and knowledge production . One innovative approach in co-production of knowledge is mobilising communities through citizen science . This also presents additional opportunities to incorporate local knowledge with scientific research, and better match scientific capability to societal needs.
