Overcoming the challenges of public data archiving for citizen science biodiversity recording and monitoring schemes

摘要: Public data archiving (PDA) is widely advocated as a means of achieving open standards, leading to improved preservation, increased scientific reproducibility, and transparency, well additional use. was primarily conceived archive from short‐term, single‐purpose studies. It now more applied, including large‐scale citizen science biodiversity recording monitoring schemes which combine the efforts volunteers with professional scientists. This may affect financial security such by reducing income analytical services. Communication between scheme organizers researchers be disrupted, quality impeding development. also have an impact on participation some volunteers. Synthesis applications. In response challenges public for schemes, function organizations should better recognized those promoting principles. Increased support sector or commercial academic users offset risk. Those in favour do facilitate communication nonscheme originating while flexible approach required address potential impacts volunteer participation.
