Crowdsourcing for climate and atmospheric sciences: current status and future potential (2015, positive): “…years (Gura, 2013), due to both emerging and affordable technological advances, and also the growing ubiquity of social media and new communications platforms, which offer increased accesses to participants (Silvertown 2009) as well as providing support during such projects (Roy et al. , 2012).”
Data Integration for Large-Scale Models of Species Distributions. (2020, background): “with initiatives for data mobilization [16–18] and the rapid growth of citizen science [19,20], mean that ecological data are being generated at an unprecedented rate, in an ever-increasing number of formats and currencies.”
From Conservation to Crowdsourcing: A Typology of Citizen Science (2011, background): “An increasing number and variety of citizen science projects are taking advantage of the affordances of technology to advance scientific research [6].”
Statistical solutions for error and bias in global citizen science datasets (2014, background): “capacity to address global-scale conservation may well rest in the realm of 77 citizen science (Silvertown, 2009).”
Beyond the jellyfish joyride and global oscillations: advancing jellyfish research (2013, background): “Citizen scientists around our coastlines could also assist with semi-quantitative abundance estimates for common species (e.g. http://www.jellywatch.org), although we have to temper our enthusiasm with pragmatism (Silvertown, 2009).”
Confronting the data-divide in a time of spatial turns and volunteered geographic information (2013, background): “…in particular due to the availability of tools for information dissemination and data gathering, the realization that the public represents a source of potentially free labour and skills, and because of mandates from funders that grant recipients undertake public outreach (Silvertown 2009).”
An appetite for connection: why we need to understand the effect and value of feeding wild birds (2011, background): “…that feeders could represent a valuable pool of potential citizen scientists et al. et al. , as already involvement in this pastime, some participants, at least, appear to confirm to the attributes necessary to ensure high levels of reliable data collection (see Silvertown 2009; Mulder et al .”
Local frequency as a key to interpreting species occurrence data when recording effort is not known (2012, background): “The role of volunteer recorders is increasing (Silvertown 2009).”
The seven impediments in invertebrate conservation and how to overcome them (2011, background): “, 2011) and, often integrated in citizen science programs, also provide extremely useful data on the distribution and abundance of species (Braschler, 2009; Cohn, 2008; Silverton, 2009).”
The problem of pattern and scale in ecology: what have we learned in 20 years? (2013, background): “…today to disseminate information and knowledge at a global scale, with far-ranging consequences on our ability to develop collaborative science among researchers but also foster the development of a vast knowledge base in natural history, with contributions from concerned citizen (Silvertown 2009).”
