Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Citizen science projects generally use the Web platform to promote scientific research and recruit volunteers to assist them. Through a crowdsourcing platform, a large amount of data is submitted and some factors may lead the scientific community to doubt the seriousness of some projects. This may be due to the unreliability of data collected on a voluntary basis and the absence of criteria for quality control of the submitted data. Our main research goal is to propose a collaborative framework for improving data quality. By associating data quality dimensions to scientists through a voting network, we aim to create a continuous process for data quality validation.
