Abstract

The Citizenship Initiative Resources project team is developing a system for organizing available information regarding citizenship to advance conceptualizations and support evidence-based measures of citizenship. A searchable database will be made available to the scientific community to enhance development of indices useful across multiple disciplines and practical applications. In addition, interactive simulation, statistical and mapping capabilities will evolve to explore the implications of research results. Novel combinations of findings will be represented in formats that facilitate visualization, and ease of comparison. This digital infrastructure will function as an interactive window into the advances made by the CI's joint endeavors. The resource database provides access to the portal, which serves as a social infrastructure in which research, network connections and discussion can be facilitated. The portal will be a central location in which progress in research, ideas and projects can be shared internationally.
