为了成为一种有价值的研究工具而被更广泛地接受，公民科学项目必须找到方法来确保由具有不同专业水平的大量人员收集的数据始终具有高质量。在这里，我们描述了一个数据验证协议开发的项目馈线观察，一个全大陆范围的鸟类监测计划，旨在提高研究人员和参与者对所收集数据的信心。
To become more widely accepted as a valuable research tool, citizen-science projects must find ways to ensure that data gathered by large numbers of people with varying levels of expertise are of consistently high quality. Here, we describe a data validation protocol developed for Project Feeder Watch, a continent-wide bird monitoring program, that is designed to increase researchers' and participants' confidence in the data being collected.
