The characteristics of interaction and dialogue implicit in the Web 2.0 have
given rise to a new scenario in the relationship between science and
society. The aim of this paper is the development of an evaluation tool
scientifically validated by the Delphi method that permits the study of
Internet usage and its effectiveness for encouraging public engagement in
the scientific process. Thirty four indicators have been identified, structured
into 6 interrelated criteria conceived for compiling data that help to explain
the role of the Internet in favouring public engagement in science.
