Research in paediatric nursing, paediatric psychology, health care management and environment-behaviour studies suggest that there are many obstacles in completing qualitative research in health care settings with children and young people. As a result, the evidence from this kind of research is limited. Both authors have recently completed participatory qualitative studies with children and yo...

The 2016-th edition was actually conducted on a set of more than 110K images illustrating 1000 plant species living in West Europe, built through a large-scale participatory sensing platform initi...
