The Reading Time Machine: Transforming Astrophysical Literature into Actionable Data Using Citizen Scientists

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are conducting a research study on how citizen scientists can help make historical scientific literature machine-readable for more accessible science. The research will be conducted in person at the American Astronomical Society's booth during the 244th AAS meeting and online.

The study experience takes about 30 minutes and is voluntary. If you want to participate or are looking for more information, please email Prof. Jill Naiman. You will be compensated with a $20 Amazon gift card upon the completion of your participation in this experience.
