Abstract

The quality of scientific data is essential for ensuring reliability and reproducibility and can be affected by several factors. In this study we show how some aspects of project design may impact the quality of the contributions of the volunteers in an online Citizen Science project. The online platform is Zooniverse and the project is NestCams, which is about bird breeding behaviour.
