TLDR
It is found that CS reviewers need to be motivated to provide appropriate feedback to improve CS data, commit to reviewing practice that is respected by citizens, and ensure the information published is credible and be reviewed by a supportive and accountable network of fellow reviewers.Abstract:
Citizen science (CS) information requires systematic review that incorporates a range of interests and concerns. Yet, there has been little research on what might constitute reviewing best practice...read more

The Co-Production of Science and Policy in Integrated Climate Assessments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the use of interactive models of research in the US regional integrated scientific assessments (RISAS), using as a case study the climate assessment of the Southwest (CLIMAS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving big citizen science data: Moving beyond haphazard sampling.
Corey T. Callaghan,Jodi J. L. Rowley,William K. Cornwell,Alistair G. B. Poore,Richard E. Major +4 more
TL;DR: This paper argues that the haphazard structure of the data has been seen as an unfortunate but unchangeable aspect of citizen science data, and provides a very simple, tractable framework that could be adapted by broadscale citizen science projects to allow citizen scientists to optimize the marginal value of their efforts.

Optimizing future biodiversity sampling by citizen scientists.
Corey T. Callaghan,Corey T. Callaghan,Alistair G. B. Poore,Richard E. Major,Richard E. Major,Jodi J. L. Rowley,Jodi J. L. Rowley,William K. Cornwell +7 more
TL;DR: A novel framework which assigns every citizen science sampling event a marginal value, derived from the importance of an observation to the understanding of overall population trends is developed, and it is found that past observations are useful in forecasting where high-value observations will occur in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global abundance estimates for 9,700 bird species.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors integrate data from a suite of well-studied species with a global dataset of bird occurrences throughout the world and use missing data theory to estimate species-specific abundances with associated uncertainty.

Using citizen science data to support conservation in environmental regulatory contexts
Bruce E. Young,Noel Dodge,Pamela D. Hunt,Margaret Ormes,Matthew D. Schlesinger,Hollie Y. Shaw +5 more
TL;DR: The use of citizen science data in regulatory review has been studied in this paper, showing that the inclusion of eBird records for 6 at-risk species increased the currency and the number and spatial extent of areas known to be utilized by these species.

Boundary-Work and the Demarcation of Science from Non-Science: Strains and Interests in Professional Ideologies of Scientists
TL;DR: The demarcation of science from other intellectual activities is an analytic problem for philosophers and sociologists and is examined as a practical problem for scientists in this article, where a set of characteristics available for ideological attribution to science reflect ambivalences or strains within the institution: science can be made to look empirical or theoretical, pure or applied.

Knowledge systems for sustainable development
David W. Cash,William C. Clark,Frank Alcock,Nancy M. Dickson,Noelle Eckley,David H. Guston,Jill Jäger,Ronald B. Mitchell +7 more
TL;DR: This study suggests that efforts to mobilize S&T for sustainability are more likely to be effective when they manage boundaries between knowledge and action in ways that simultaneously enhance the salience, credibility, and legitimacy of the information they produce.
