Data validation in citizen science: a case study from Project FeederWatch. Bonter, D., N. & Cooper, C., B. Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 10(6):305-307, Eco Soc America, 2012.
Paper
Website abstract bibtex To become more widely accepted as a valuable research tool, citizen-science
projects must find ways to ensure that data gathered by large numbers
of people with varying levels of expertise are of consistently high
quality. Here, we describe a data validation protocol developed for
Project FeederWatch, a continent-wide bird monitoring program, that
is designed to increase researchers' and participants' confidence
in the data being collected.
