Through interviews with principals involved in 50 projects, the task group has assessed the methods and approaches for validating various streams of citizen science data, the mechanisms for cleaning and curating the data, and systems in place for the long-term management, documentation and dissemination of those data. This presentation reports on results of this assessment, and provides recommendations to the citizen science \/ crowdsourcing community on data quality and management practices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a reminder that the deadline for submitting abstracts for this\u00a0session\u00a0on the validation, curation and management of citizen science data at the\u00a0SciDataCon\u00a0is on\u00a0Monday, June 25.\u00a0 They\u00a0 would use people&#8217;s help in recruiting papers, especially from African citizen science groups.
