abstract = {The web application www.transparencyscience.es has been created in order to provide reliable information about public investment in science, in order to allow citizens to exercise their rights: to be informed in a transparent way, to control their government’s actions and to bring their ideas to guide the country’s policies on public investment in science. To achieve these goals, www.transparencyscience.es collects and process data from several open sources of the Spanish government. It uses different kinds of content and visualizations to facilitate the understanding of the Spanish public investment in science. It encourages citizen participation in three ways: a voting system; commenting system for collecting citizens’ opinion in natural language; and finally, acrowdfunding system for proposed actions/petitions/etc.
The purposes of this paper are both to explain why we have designed and created the web application www.transparencyscience.es, and to describe how it works. It also reveals some added value in comparison with other projects in Spain.},
