Data Management for Citizen Science
- 1. Data Management for Citizen Science Challenges & Opportunities for USGS Leadership Andrea Wiggins Postdoctoral Fellow DataONE & Cornell Lab of Ornithology 12 September, 2012 USGS CDI Citizen Science workshop

Data quality perceptions No more reinvention • The data are as good as your project design • Reuse protocols & technologies • Replicability -> reliability No more excuses • All scientific data have errors • Our data are just like yours...except we have more friends • Document data collection & QA/QC in excruciating detail 13

- 16. Survey says... Least satisfied with current: • Process for sharing project data with colleagues, researchers, and/or participants • Ways of presenting project data/results to participants Better data management planning than average • 1/3 had NO data management plan at all! • Government-funded projects: yes, for some data 16
- 17. Survey says... Tools & resources strongly desired across categories, especially: • Analyzing & visualizing data • Documenting & describing data • Training 17
- 18. Survey says... Tools & resources strongly desired across categories, especially: • Analyzing & visualizing data • Documenting & describing data • Training Top priorities for improvement (high agreement) 1. Analyzing & visualizing data 2. Documenting & describing data 3. Long-term storage 4. Establishing & updating data policies 18

- When it comes to the data life cycle that Bill mentioned yesterday, many scientists are grappling with questions about data management. Questions like... [READ OFF] These are just a few questions out of many that PPSR project leaders have discussed with me, but as you might have noticed, most of them are questions that are equally applicable to conventional scientific research.
- In fact, the only thing I can see that is truly unique about PPSR data is the involvement of volunteers. At the end of the day, data is data. So I hope it comes as some comfort for everyone here to know that there ’ s nothing unusual in these challenges, with the exception of needing to manage aspects of the data that are directly related to volunteers.
