• Volunteered Geographic Information: the nature and motivation of produsers (2009, background): “…“…digital vandalism, yelling, and deliberate misdirection” coming from some contributors and that developing a “healthy skepticism” of data coming from VGI sources may in fact help target staff investigations and avoid the spread of false rumours during a plan development process (Tulloch, 2008).”
• Confronting the data-divide in a time of spatial turns and volunteered geographic information (2013, background): “Another related area of thematic VGI proliferation is for the purpose of ongoing monitoring and inventorying (Tulloch 2008; Gouveia and Fonseca 2008), as evidenced by the proliferation of ‘citizen science’ surveying initiatives such as annual bird surveys (Wiersma 2010).”
• Crowdsourcing geographic knowledge: volunteered geographic information (VGI) in theory and practice (2014, methodology): “Balancing the concerns against the promise, GIScience researchers and practitioners in areas like public participatory GIS (PPGIS) and volunteered geographic information (VGI) cannot easily ignore either the volume of data or the potential applications being generated through exploratory crowdsourci”
• Researching Volunteered Geographic Information: Spatial Data, Geographic Research, and New Social Practice (2012, background): “For example, Tulloch (2008) has documented the State of New Jersey’s effort to gather information about the presence and location of vernal pools (seasonally present wetlands) from field surveys completed by citizen volunteers.”
