As such, "personal science" is a form of "citizen science" that can occur almost entirely outside traditional research institutions. At the same time, many practitioners of personal science come from academia and adjacent fields (research industry, technology, medicine), re-using skills in research and technology to apply them to ask personally relevant questions.

Due to the highly individual and non-institutional nature of personal science, knowledge sharing amongst practitioners has been historically limited and ad-hoc.<ref>[https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0963662519888757 Heyen (2019).

== Who runs the wiki? ==
Initial set up and ongoing administration of this wiki's server has been done by Open Humans Foundation. Additional set up, including the addition of semantic data linking and templates, was contributed by researchers at the Peer-Produced Research Lab. Content on this wiki has also been seeded with content shared by Quantified Self Labs.
