Co-creation, participation and social networks to make history. Science with a for Society

The trend towards citizen participation in scientific research is here to stay. Direct involvement of individuals and groups linked with the study theme open up the possibility to access privileged information and new primary sources. It can even modify the objectives and methodology of a project, setting the course in the development of research activities. These factors increase when we talk about humanities and are further enhanced through the use of digital technologies, Web platforms, apps and social networks, that reduce distances and extend the tools available to the researcher.
