    Abstract: [Purpose/significance] At the present stage, the data opening of major public health emergencies is faced with many difficulties, such as low public participation, poor data utilization and imperfect platform services. This paper introduces the citizen science mode to build an open service ecosystem, aiming to provide ideas for breaking the deadlock in the development of open data on major public health emergencies.[Method/process] This paper clarified the main elements and implementation processes of citizen science projects in the context of open data on major public health emergencies, and explored the citizen science operation model. On this basis, the study systematically sorted out key elements such as stakeholders, value creation models, constraints and promotion systems. Finally, an open data service ecosystem for major public health emergencies was comprehensively constructed.[Result/conclusion] In this service ecosystem, the citizen science mode is the infrastructure, and the open data platform for major public health emergencies is the key node. By providing all-round service contents, targeted system constraints and promotional mechanisms, this system guides the public, various industry institutions and professionals to interact and cooperate at the levels of macro, meso and micro, integrate their own advantageous resources and carry out service exchange and complementarity, so as to achieve value creation. The results of this paper will help to improve the social participation and utilization of open data, and provide an action reference for the construction of the service system and optimization of the service level of open data platform for major public health emergencies.
