Keyness and concordance analyses show that these texts reflect, construct and negotiate identity construction in various ways to ultimately support citizen participation in scientific processes. Scientists primarily construct a professional identity through self-representation markers (‘we’ pronouns). They present themselves as credible professionals, aligned with the socially established values and ideologies of the scientific community. In addition, they appear to create a collective identity to promote empathy and to encourage and maintain citizen engagement in scientific processes. However, processes of indexicality and relationality – that is positioning and dialogism – reveal that the construction of a professional identity is consistently made more relevant than a collective expert-crowd identity, thus exposing overt power asymmetries. Even when dialogue between experts and nonexperts is encouraged, all the monologic and dialogic interactions established by the hypertext structure of the project sites reflect power imbalances. 000144636 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EUR/ERASMUS +/2020-1-ES01-KA220-HED-000086749 000144636 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000144636 590__ $$a1.7$$b2024 000144636 592__ $$a0.883$$b2024 000144636 591__ $$aCOMMUNICATION$$b86 / 227 = 0.379$$c2024$$dQ2$$eT2 000144636 593__ $$aAnthropology$$c2024$$dQ1 000144636 593__ $$aCommunication$$c2024$$dQ1 000144636 593__ $$aLinguistics and Language$$c2024$$dQ1 000144636 593__ $$aSocial Psychology$$c2024$$dQ2 000144636 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000144636 7102_ $$13004$$2345$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
