CSA Webinar: Boost Your Citizen Science Data 📊

Citizen science encompasses a wide variety of kinds of projects that produce data — from community science activities to public participation in scientific research. A goal of the scientific process is to produce unbiased, transparent, and reproducible data, regardless of who is doing the work and when it is occurring. A quality assurance project plan, or project plan, provides the framework to produce these type of data, increasing the chance they can used for their intended purpose and maximum impact. This webinar explores how citizen science groups have successfully integrated quality assurance approaches into their projects to help answer their community’s environmental and public health questions.
