Large, secondarily collected data are often used in the biological and environmental sciences in order to gain broad insights. However, if the data are collected by untrained or unskilled people who do not appreciate the significance of the final dataset, the dataset may become worthless. We need to examine the data collection process in order to use only data of high quality.

Abstract


Large, secondarily collected data are often used in the biological and environmental sciences in order to gain broad insights. However, if the data are collected by untrained or unskilled people who do not appreciate the significance of the final dataset, the dataset may become worthless. We need to examine the data collection process in order to use only data of high quality.
