• The Biological Records Centre: a pioneer of citizen science (2015, background): “…recording activities lead to high-quality data but have relatively little instructive involvement from professionals and are not formally designed, i.e. they have less involvement from professionals even than ‘co-created’ (Bonney et al., 2009a) or ‘extreme’ (Haklay, 2013) citizen science.”
• Extracting and understanding urban areas of interest using geotagged photos (2015, unknown): “Volunteered geographic information (VGI) provides an alternative data source for many geospatial applications (Goodchild 2007, Elwood 2008, Sui et al. 2012, Hu et al. 2013).”
