Journal Article
Sprinks, J., Dowthwaite, L., Priestnall, G., & Wardlaw, J. (2020). MarsCAPE: Mars Communicated through an Augmented, Physical Environment. IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 40(2), 43-56. https://doi.org/10.1109/mcg.2020.2967319

In the last decade, vast amounts of planetary science data has been made available publicly often focused on Mars. Such data is typically disseminated via the web and made available through screen-based visualisations. However, this approach can make...

Planet Four: Craters—Optimizing task workflow to improve volunteer engagement and crater counting performance (2019)
Journal Article
Sprinks, J., Houghton, R., Bamford, S., & Morley, J. G. (2019). Planet Four: Craters—Optimizing task workflow to improve volunteer engagement and crater counting performance. Meteoritics and Planetary Science, 54(6), 1325-1346. https://doi.org/10.1111/maps.13277

Virtual citizen science platforms allow nonscientists to take part in scientific research across a range of disciplines, including planetary science. What is required of the volunteer can vary considerably in terms of task type, variety, judgment req...

Anaesthetist-controlled versus patient-maintained effect-site targeted propofol sedation during elective primary lower-limb arthroplasty performed under spinal anaesthesia (ACCEPTS): study protocol for a parallel-group randomised comparison trial (2019)
Journal Article
Hewson, D. W., Worcester, F., Sprinks, J., Smith, M. D., Buchanan, H., Breedon, P., …Bedforth, N. M. (2019). Anaesthetist-controlled versus patient-maintained effect-site targeted propofol sedation during elective primary lower-limb arthroplasty performed under spinal anaesthesia (ACCEPTS): study protocol for a parallel-group randomised comparison trial. Trials, 20(1), Article 129. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13063-019-3228-4

Background
The clinical efficacy of effect-site targeted patient-maintained propofol sedation (PMPS) compared to anaesthetist-controlled propofol sedation (ACPS) for patients undergoing awake joint replacement surgery is currently unknown. There is...

A sociotechnical system approach to virtual citizen science: an application of BS ISO 27500:2016 (2019)
Journal Article
Houghton, R., Sprinks, J., Wardlaw, J., Bamford, S., & Marsh, S. (2019). A sociotechnical system approach to virtual citizen science: an application of BS ISO 27500:2016. JCOM: Journal of Science Communication, 18(01), https://doi.org/10.22323/2.18010201

We discuss the potential application to virtual citizen science of a recent standard (BS ISO 27500:2016 “The human-centred organisation”) which encourages the adoption of a sociotechnical systems perspective across a wide range of businesses, organiz...

Citizen science and the professional-amateur divide: lessons from differing online practices (2019)
Journal Article
Dowthwaite, L., & Sprinks, J. (2019). Citizen science and the professional-amateur divide: lessons from differing online practices. JCOM: Journal of Science Communication, 18(01), Article A06. https://doi.org/10.22323/2.18010206

Online citizen science platforms increasingly provide types of infrastructural support previously only available to organisationally-based professional scientists. Other practices, such as creative arts, also exploit the freedom and accessibility aff... Read More about Citizen science and the professional-amateur divide: lessons from differing online practices.
